Above, I have received the sacred sovereign's granting of my humble wish; the grace that nourishes and fosters is as vast as the sky. Entering upon seeing what is feasible, retreating upon knowing difficulty; the authority is held in hand, stretching and releasing are not other. Residing without mind, moving is likewise not me; therefore throughout the twenty-four hours, together with others having the same attainment, same realization, same exit, and same entry—how could there be mind toward this and that, what form could there be to going and coming? Therefore it is said: 'If you wish to know the meaning of Buddha-nature, you should observe seasonal causes and conditions. When the time arrives, the principle reveals itself.' Right at such a time, do you fully understand? In the carefree dispersal among the groves, an idle person outside the world." > He also had a verse: > "The Moon of Chan in former years once had words, > Which this mountain monk took as a model and fine plan: > Though such demeanor is clear and clumsy, > A great man ought to be free." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.8.27) - [Next: 8.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.8.29) - [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.8.28) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.8.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.8.28) · Pramāṇa
