Jingshan is not so: having brought up one, I bring up two, severing entangling vines, thrusting out the patch-robed monk's nostrils. Like the lion king giving a roar, a cliff standing ten thousand fathoms steep, who dares look with open eyes? If one went on like this continuously, thirty years from now, how could it stop at weeds being ten feet deep in front of the Dharma hall? Therefore Old Śākya said: 'For example, like a zither, lute, or harp: though they possess wondrous sounds, without wondrous fingers, they can never be produced.' Do you all wish to know the simultaneous production of the wondrous sounds and wondrous fingers? Descending from the seat, proceed to the Head Monk's quarters to announce the incense." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.123](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1999.1.123) - [Next: 1.125](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1999.1.125) - [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.1.124) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1999.1.124](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1999.1.124) · Pramāṇa
