See his failure." > The monk continued, "The student simply pushes forward; why does the Venerable not let it pass?" > The Master said, "It would be best not to slander Chongning." > The monk continued, "Why are you unwilling to acknowledge it?" > The Master said, "Hiding the body while exposing the shadow." > The monk continued, "Caught in failure today." > The Master said, "Indeed." > A monk asked, "How was it before Niutou met the Fourth Patriarch?" > The Master said, "Heaven and earth could not know." > The monk continued, "How was it after he met him?" > The Master said, "It became a model for past and present." > The monk continued, "Benevolence and righteousness are severed only from poverty." > The Master said, "Sticking his head out from a ghost cave." > He then said, "Lush and green, deep and clear, leaking the heavenly secret at the tips of the hundred grasses; clustered with flowers, clustered with brocade, exposing true wisdom beside the bustling marketplace. The sounding of gold and chiming of jade, the scenery striking the ground; the lightning flash and shooting star, the functioning reaching to heaven. Setting aside for now not taking the myriad dharmas as companions, how is it when the needle-eye fish swallows the great statue of Jiazhou? Ough!" He stepped down from the seat. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.2.2) - [Next: 2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.2.4) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997~en-mt.2.3) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.2.3) · Pramāṇa
