If you can see clearly for yourself, you instantly transcend the ordinary and enter the sacred, without being bewildered and disturbed by the hordes of māras; this is called having accomplished the great matter. Whoever comes before you, not a single one of their tricks can be used. Therefore Zhaozhou said: 'This old monk only watches this one thing; it is not an eye that selects Dharmas. Śākyamuni called it the wondrously luminous true nature, which does not rely on adornment.' Understand this, so as to avoid falsely recognizing conditioned dust and spending your time in vain." A monk asked: "What is the meaning of the Ancestral Teacher's coming from the West?" The Master said: "An ancient pine tree is covered with rough bark; / Within its core, there is naturally a streak of brightness." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.1.47) - [Next: 1.49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.1.49) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992~en-mt.1.48) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.1.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.1.48) · Pramāṇa
