Cast off the checkpoint above, and facing south, gaze at the Northern Dipper. Suspending a sword in empty space, killing and bringing to life as the occasion requires; whipping up Linji's blind ass, letting loose Wuzu's iron sour cake—everyone on the whole great earth has their sharp point broken and their tongues tied. To uphold and establish the orthodox lineage of the buddhas and patriarchs, we still rely on an extraordinary person capable of sustaining extraordinary affairs. The extraordinary person has already been seen; the extraordinary affair has already been heard. Moreover, without resorting to verbal explanations, with what single phrase will you communicate the message? Descending from the seat, I trouble the administrators, heads of departments, and the great assembly to proceed to the Head Monk's quarters to inquire." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.121](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1999.1.121) - [Next: 1.123](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1999.1.123) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1999.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1999~en-mt.1.122) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1999.1.122](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1999.1.122) · Pramāṇa
