A single tree does not make a forest; a single thread does not make a cord. Constructing a great mansion is not within the power of a single timber; crossing a mighty river is not by the strength of a single oar. Therefore it is said: Many hairs make a ball; gathered iron makes an axe. One must have inner and outer correspond, host and guest know how to accommodate each other; then naturally qi and kinds will be identical, feathers and fur will be similar. Right at such a moment, what about it? Eighty-four thousand are not the phoenix's plumage; thirty-three people enter the tiger's cave." He further had a verse that said: > "Over thirty cloud-and-water guests, / In all quarters divide the work of transformation and vigorously practice. / The monastery's sundry affairs entirely rely upon them; / It is precisely the time for the golden-maned \[lion\] to exert itself." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.8.22) - [Next: 8.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.8.24) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997~en-mt.8.23) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.8.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.8.23) · Pramāṇa
