If you believe it, it is like blowing on a fire with the wind; if you do not believe it, it is digging a pit on level ground. Having no other choice, models and molds were set up; therefore on Vulture Peak the moon was spoken of, and at Caoxi the moon was pointed out. Where is the moon? Point it out for me to see! I tell you chan monks frankly: do not look for it up in the sky!" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.58](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.1.58) - [Next: 1.60](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.1.60) - [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.1.59) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.1.59](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.1.59) · Pramāṇa
