Mazu said, 'I am not your teacher; go to Shitou at Nanyue.' Danxia thereupon went to Shitou and held up his headcloth as before. Shitou said, 'Go to the stable.' Danxia served as a postulant. One day Shitou said to the assembly, 'Today after the meal, there will be communal work weeding the grass in front of the Buddha Hall.' Everyone competed to fetch hoes and shovels, but Danxia alone washed his head, held a razor before Shitou, and knelt on one knee. Shitou said, 'What are you doing?' Danxia said, 'Please, Master, weed the grass.' Shitou smiled, shaved his head, and called him to transmit the precepts. Danxia covered his ears and walked away. He then returned to Mazu's monastery in Jiangxi and rode on the neck of the holy monk \[statue\]. The assembly was shocked and reported it to Mazu. Mazu came in person to see him and said, 'My son is natural (Tianran)!' Danxia then bowed and said, 'Thank you, Master, for giving me a name.' Mazu asked, 'Where did you come from?' Danxia said, 'From Shitou.' Mazu said, 'The stone path (Shitou) is slippery; did you happen to slip and fall?' Danxia said, 'If I had slipped and fallen, I would not have come.'" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 19.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.19.6) - [Next: 19.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.19.8) - [Up: 19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.19) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997~en-mt.19.7) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.19.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.19.7) · Pramāṇa
