I wonder, between these two venerable masters, which one is right?" The Master said: "Which one is not?" \[The monk\] advanced: "To whom is the middle assigned?" The Master said: "Just grope around as much as you like." \[The monk\] advanced: "Why do they both come horizontally and go vertically on the tip of the staff?" The Master said: "Why are your eyes dazzled with flowers?" \[The monk\] advanced: "Is this precisely where the Venerable serves people?" The Master said: "Yes." Then he said: "Danxia burning the wooden buddha did not accord with human sentiments; Cuiwei making offerings to the arhats was a Vinaya suited to the locality. If brought under the gate of Jingshan, neither is of any use. Tell me, what is used under the gate of Jingshan? / When the autumn river is clear and shallow, / White dew mingles with the misty isles; / How marvelous, Avalokiteśvara, / Completely entering the overgrown weeds!" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.3.8) - [Next: 3.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.3.10) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a~en-mt.3.9) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [密菴和尚語錄](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1999.1.89) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.3.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.3.9) · Pramāṇa
