Shimen said: 'Old Wang of the eastern village burns spirit money at night.'" The Master commented: "This may indeed be called miraculous function of spiritual penetrations." "The monk further asked Venerable Xian of Kaixian: 'How is it when the year is depleted and the months come to an end?' Xian said: 'Just as before, the first month of spring is still cold.'" The Master commented: "His ground is certainly steady and dense. If someone suddenly asked Daolin: 'How is it when the year is depleted and the months come to an end?' I would only say to him: 'A windmill spinning on the fixed point of the balance beam.'" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 18.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.18.6) - [Next: 18.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.18.8) - [Up: 18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.18) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997~en-mt.18.7) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.18.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.18.7) · Pramāṇa
