The Master said: "Stop, stop! The Buddhas of the three periods are an illusion; the patriarchs of the six generations are an illusion; the old upādhyāyas under heaven are an illusion." He again held up his staff and said: "The staff is an illusion; which one is complete awakening?" After a long pause, he struck the rope bed once with his staff and said: "Illusioned forth!" When the great assembly hesitated, the Master said: "This gang of lacquer buckets has no openings at all!" With his staff, he drove them all away at once. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.175](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.2.175) - [Next: 2.177](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.2.177) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996~en-mt.2.176) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.2.176](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.2.176) · Pramāṇa
