Dongshan said: 'A paper twist with no oil.'" The Master said: "It is not that old fellow Dongshan did not have it; he was merely too frugal. If someone were suddenly to ask Simian, 'What is the eye of a kalyāṇamitra?' I would only say to him: 'Blind.' Why? Only to match him." Then he said: "A paper twist without oil is indeed quite wondrous, / Unfit to be picked up—who understands? / Turning around, he remembers the road he came by; / Under the moon, surging along, he returns wherever his feet lead." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1995.1.20) - [Next: 1.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1995.1.22) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1995.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1995~en-mt.1.21) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1995.1.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1995.1.21) · Pramāṇa
