When intention and phrase run against each other, that is to be feared." He also said: "Within the intention, no phrase is retained; within the phrase, no intention is retained." As when Zhaoqing asked Luoshan: "Master Yantou said: 'So, so; not so, not so.' What was his meaning?" Luoshan thereupon called out, "Great Master!" Zhaoqing answered. Luoshan said: "Both bright and both dark." Zhaoqing then bowed and left. Three days later, he came again and asked: "What was the Venerable's meaning the other day?" Luoshan said: "I told you everything with all my heart." Zhaoqing said: "The Great Master is walking while holding a torch." Luoshan said: "If so, then ask according to what you doubt." Zhaoqing said: "What is 'both bright and both dark'?" Luoshan said: "Living together and also dying together." Zhaoqing bowed in thanks again and left. Later, another monk asked Luoshan: "What about when living together but not dying together?" Luoshan said: "Like an ox without horns." He also asked: "What about when living together and also dying together?" Luoshan said: "Like a tiger wearing horns." If you wish to understand the affairs from antiquity, you should constantly keep this causal condition in mind; however, you must not use the mind to bore into it, for boring into it is an error. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 19.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.19.32) - [Next: 19.34](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.19.34) - [Up: 19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.19) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a~en-mt.19.33) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.19.33](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.19.33) · Pramāṇa
