Yangshan related these words to the Stūpa Master; the Stūpa Master kicked over the bench. Weishan heard of this and roared with laughter." The Master said: "One must know that within great potential there is great function, and within great function there is great potential. Tell me: when both releasing and withholding together, how is it? The upturned lotus heart atop the temple banner pole." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 16.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.16.40) - [Next: 16.42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.16.42) - [Up: 16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.16) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997~en-mt.16.41) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.16.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.16.41) · Pramāṇa
