The World-Honoured One remained silent for a good while. The non-Buddhist said, 'The World-Honoured One with great loving-kindness and great compassion has opened my clouds of delusion, enabling me to attain entry.'" > The Master said, "Virtuous practitioners of Chan, since the clouds of delusion have been opened and he certainly sees the Buddha, do you still allow that he is a fellow practitioner? If there is mutual understanding, then the ancestral masters throughout the world are all companions of the non-Buddhist; if each rejects the seal of verification, then the patch-robed monks of the Eastern Land are not equal to the non-Buddhists of the Western Heavens." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.1.44) - [Next: 1.46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.1.46) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996~en-mt.1.45) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.1.45](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.1.45) · Pramāṇa
