The monk bowed, and Hua said, "Yesterday I went to a village vegetarian feast, and on the way I met a sudden storm of gale and rain, but I dodged it in an old temple." He then asked Zhao for further instruction, and Zhao said, "This is Linji's style; go ask his descendants." Wuzu then went to study under Fushan Yuan and asked for instruction on this public case. Yuan said, "There is a metaphor: it is just like a firewood seller in a hamlet of three families, who has shouldered a carrying pole and then asks what matter the Central Secretariat is discussing today." Wuzu said, "If so, I am still far from it." Since Fushan Yuan was advanced in years and hard of hearing, he directed him to study under a junior elder, namely Baiyun Duan, \[saying,\] "Though this old monk does not know him, seeing his verse on the encounter of Linji's three rounds of blows, his insight is clean and pure; you may go inquire and resolve it." Wuzu complied. One day, Zhenjing said to Old Huanglong, "Baiyun Duan's verse on Linji's three rounds of blows has the same insight as mine." Nan said, "How do you understand his?" Jing then cited the verse. Long shouted and said, "Baiyun understands; you do not." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.108](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998b.1.108) - [Next: 1.110](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998b.1.110) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998b.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998b~en-mt.1.109) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998b.1.109](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998b.1.109) · Pramāṇa
