If one receives people with worldly conventions, one falls into worldly conventions; if one receives people with the Buddhadharma, one falls into the Buddhadharma; if one receives people with the dynamic of the Patriarchs and Buddhas, one falls into the realm of the dynamic of the Patriarchs and Buddhas; if one receives people with transcendent bringing forth, one falls into transcendent bringing forth; if one receives people with 'thus, thus', one falls into 'thus, thus'; if one receives people with 'not thus, not thus', one falls into 'not thus, not thus'; if one receives people with 'altogether not thus, altogether not thus', one falls into 'altogether not thus, altogether not thus'. Arriving here, where nothing can encage them, even if the thousand sages were to appear, they would not dare look straight at them. Although one sheds it directly at the head and takes it on toward that side, one still gets only no connection whatsoever. And how does one bring about the final closure? If there is a person of great capacity and great caliber who can push through a thread's breadth at the place of final closure, they can pick up a blade of grass to use as the sixteen-foot golden body, and at times use the sixteen-foot golden body as a blade of grass; at times pick up the lantern to use as the exposed pillar, and at times use the exposed pillar as the lantern; at times ride the Buddha shrine out through the triple gate, and releasing a single thread, take Silla and make it butt heads with Campā. And tell me: what lineage principle is this, what realm is this? Just at such a time, how do you utter the phrase right at the head? The view is filled with brilliance, without facing toward or turning away; / An utpala flower blossoms within the fire." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 11.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.11.11) - [Next: 11.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.11.13) - [Up: 11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.11) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997~en-mt.11.12) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.11.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.11.12) · Pramāṇa
