Old man Śākyamuni works his marvelous spirit; Bodhidharma's coming from the west has many taboos. If a fellow suddenly stepped forward and said, 'Venerable monk, lower your voice,' I would just say to him: 'I only wanted to cast a brick to draw a piece of jade.'" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.53](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1995.1.53) - [Next: 1.55](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1995.1.55) - [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.1.54) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1995.1.54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1995.1.54) · Pramāṇa
