Xinghua said: 'Whenever I meet someone I do not come out, but coming out, I immediately act for the person.'" The Master commented: "One has his face covered with dirt and head with ashes atop an isolated peak; one cuts through nails and shears through iron at the crossroads—with head and tail, dying together and living together. Tell me: is he who comes out and does not act for the person right, or is he who comes out and immediately acts for the person right?" Raising his fly-whisk, he said: "Through countless ages, the moon in the empty realm of the emerald pool; / only by raking again and again will you finally know." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 18.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.18.7) - [Next: 18.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.18.9) - [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.18.8) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.18.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.18.8) · Pramāṇa
