What is the matter facing upward?" The Master said, "One must not speak of dreams in front of an idiot." The monk advanced, saying, "The Venerable's three-inch \[tongue\] is very dense." The Master said, "The eyes of the assembly are hard to deceive." The monk advanced, saying, "What about when a monk asked Dongshan, 'What is the Buddha?' and he said, 'Three pounds of hemp'?" The Master said, "The great roc spreads its wings and covers the ten continents; creatures beside the fence chirp in vain." He then said, "Yesterday it was clear, today it rains; the seasons do not correspond. Look again after three days!" Striking the meditation couch, he descended from the seat. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.1.39) - [Next: 1.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.1.41) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a~en-mt.1.40) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.1.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.1.40) · Pramāṇa
