Raise one dynamic, and a thousand dynamics are cut off; take up one matter, and ten thousand matters are simultaneously manifested. Only a person of great liberation can understand the transcendent lineage principle. Have you not seen: Vimalakīrti moved the Abhirati world without leaving his seat, like holding a jujube leaf on the tip of a needle? And have you not seen: Dayang said, 'Taking up a single tree leaf is moving the whole of Mount Yang'? Thus we know that if this matter is sought along the tracks of mental machinations and consciousness, or on verbal expressions, it is very much like digging into the earth to look for heaven—completely without connection. If one is cast of raw iron, not passing through the phantom city, not depending on delusion and enlightenment, and not restricted by gain and loss, then when one is clear, all are clear; when one understands, all is understood; when one sees, all is seen; when one functions, all functions. This is still the patch-robed monk's conduct on the side of extending hands to respond to potentials and helping others. If you let him shine alone and operate alone, even a thousand sages could not find him, the devas would find no path to shower flowers, and māras and outsiders could not see him by stealthy observation; circulating back and forth through the ten directions without obstruction, in a single thought universally responding, with past and future cut off. Just now, sitting and standing solemnly under the brilliant lamplight—and tell me, what season is this? If you say it is the realm of mind-only, you are sitting right in the thicket of thorns. If you say it is the transcendent season, you have not yet leapt out of the diamond cage. If it is none of these, how is it then? Is there anyone who can speak? / If he had not shot the stone tiger at Lantian, / It would almost have cost General Li his life." / The verse says: / "In heaven and among humans, he cannot be matched; / Sharing the same style, a thousand eyes open with the season. / Layman Zhitong is truly extraordinary; / He came twice to Daozhao in three years." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 11.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.11.20) - [Next: 11.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.11.22) - [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.11.21) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.11.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.11.21) · Pramāṇa
