He drew a circle on the ground, spread his sitting cloth, and made prostrations. Mazu said, 'You intend to become a Buddha.' Danyuan said, 'I do not know how to squeeze my eyes.' Mazu said, 'I am not as good as you.'" The Master said, "Though a fierce tiger does not eat its cubs, how can one help that the incoming words were not ample? Do you people wish to know Danyuan? He is merely a fellow who conceals his body while revealing his shadow." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.78](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.3.78) - [Next: 3.80](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.3.80) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996~en-mt.3.79) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.3.79](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.3.79) · Pramāṇa
