The National Teacher said: 'Build a seamless stupa for this old monk.' The Emperor said: 'Please give me the design of the stupa, Master.' The National Teacher remained silent for a long pause, and then said: 'Do you understand?' The Emperor said: 'I do not understand.' The National Teacher said: 'I have a Dharma-transmitting disciple named Danyuan, who understands this matter; please summon and ask him.' After the National Teacher passed away, the Emperor summoned Danyuan and asked what this meant. Danyuan said: 'South of the Xiang and north of the Tan, / Between them gold fills a whole realm; / Beneath the shadowless tree, board the same boat together; / Atop the lapis lazuli palace, there is no good friend.'" The Master said: "Leave aside Suzong not understanding; does Danyuan understand? Merely with 'Please give me the design of the stupa, Master,' all the patriarchs of the Western Heavens and this land, upon meeting this one squeeze, could not avoid taking south for north! If there is someone bystander who disagrees, step forward—I want to ask you: Which is the seamless stupa?" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.92](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.2.92) - [Next: 2.94](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.2.94) - [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.2.93) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (3) - [宏智禪師廣錄](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.2.175) — Classical Chinese - [萬松老人評唱天童覺和尚頌古從容庵錄](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2004.6.17) — Classical Chinese - [法演禪師語錄](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1995.3.22) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.2.93](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.2.93) · Pramāṇa
