If the patriarchs had not come from the west, the trouble brought upon later generations would have been avoided. Right at such a time, the sky of itself is high, the earth of itself is thick, the sun, moon, and stars are luminous, and humans, things, and realms are vast—not a single thread has ever shifted. Why not recognize it right here? If you can recognize it here, you are certainly a Daoist of no-affairs. When it comes to the buddhas appearing in the world, bringing forth the causes and conditions of the one great matter, and the patriarchs coming from the west, transmitting and upholding the Treasury of the True Dharma Eye, causing all who hear and see to give rise to a rare mind and form thoughts of it being hard to encounter, each relying on buddhas and patriarchs, climbing the steps and surpassing stages, realizing the unconditioned and attaining the holy fruit—if you can recognize it like this, you are also a Daoist of no-affairs. Moreover, there is one possessing great icchantika nature who does not give rise to the root of faith, meeting a buddha and rebuking the buddha, encountering a patriarch and scolding the patriarch, even extinguishing the buddhas and extinguishing the patriarchs, causing people not to see a buddha and not to hear the Dharma; stark naked and clean and unencumbered, the entire body is just a true and real person. If you can recognize it here, you are also a Daoist of no-affairs. There is one who can fully believe and hold fast, practicing in reliance on the Buddha without attaching to the Buddha, verifying in reliance on the patriarchs without attaching to the patriarchs, skilled at establishing the Dharma banner and able to institute the lineage tenets, praising buddhas and praising patriarchs like adding brocade on flowers, even above heaven and below heaven like gold and jade. If you can recognize it here, you are also a Daoist of no-affairs. Among these four Daoists of no-affairs, if one must be selected as master, tell me: which one would you select as master? If you can speak, step forward and try to speak; if you cannot speak, this mountain monk cannot avoid letting out a bit of news: Wearing a coir raincoat, standing askance beyond a thousand peaks; / Drawing water to irrigate vegetables before the Five Old Men.' He stepped down from the seat. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 10.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.10.8) - [Next: 10.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.10.10) - [Up: 10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.10) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997~en-mt.10.9) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.10.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.10.9) · Pramāṇa
