A monk asked: "Carrying your khakkhara, you already dwell here today; please, master, settle heaven and earth with a single phrase." The master said: "A hundred broken fragments." The monk continued: "In that case, the sea is tranquil and the river is clear." The master said: "Not your realm." A monk asked: "What is the great meaning of the Buddhadharma?" The master said: "The dragon roars and mists arise; the tiger howls and the wind is born." A monk asked: "What is the meaning of the patriarch's coming from the west?" The master said: "The mountains are high, the seas are vast." The monk continued: "The student does not understand." The master said: "Tie your straw sandals tightly." The master then said: "Before coming to Cuifeng, many people had doubts; but when arriving in person, the single realm is quiet and stark. It is not like Sudhana entering the door of the tower, momentarily restraining thought; nor can it be compared to Vimalakīrti's world within the palm, having separate pure rules. I hope you all take your fill of observing this brilliance, to nourish your joy and comfort." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.1.6) - [Next: 1.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.1.8) - [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.1.7) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.1.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.1.7) · Pramāṇa
