How can a person of the Way dwelling in the woods repay it? Merely by playing the holeless flute across.” The Master said, “When an intimate knower knows, who else knows?” The monk asked further, “I do not ask about the phrase of an intimate knower; how does one play the holeless flute?” The Master held up his whisk and said, “Do you still hear it?” The monk asked further, “Across the Five Indias it cannot be blown; in the land of Han, it is hard to harmonize.” The Master said, “Again blown by the wind into a different tune.” The monk asked further, “What about the Grand Preceptor, Prince Xun, profoundly apprehending the Venerable’s Dharma voice today—I wonder what stage he transcends to?” The Master said, “When there is much mud, the Buddha is big.” The monk asked further, “Do you also permit the student to borrow water to present flowers?” The Master said, “What harm is there in that?” The monk said, “The deceased without doubt ascends to the nine ranks; the living from now on are ranked among the Three Terraces.” The Master said, “Only this single phrase is needed.” The monk bowed. The Master then said, “When the mind arises, diverse dharmas arise; when the mind ceases, diverse dharmas cease. When mind and dharmas are both forgotten, it is like beating the poison-smeared drum—all who hear it perish. It is also like a great bonfire—approaching it scorches the face. Those who awaken to it become buddhas on the spot; those who are deluded by it transmigrate for eternal kalpas. Therefore, what the buddhas spoke was only this mind; what the patriarchs transmitted was only this Dharma. The five hundred bhikṣus in the assembly on Gṛdhrakūṭa attained it and themselves awakened to their original mind as dream-like and phantom-like, within dreams and phantoms seeing no self, person, or sentient beings. The broad-foreheaded butcher attained it, tossed down his butchering knife, clasped his hands, and said, ‘I am one counted among the thousand buddhas.’ In the Great Assembly, the mighty demon king attained it and thereupon said, ‘I shall wait until all sentient beings have attained buddhahood completely, the realm of sentient beings is empty, and there are no names of sentient beings—only then will I bring forth the bodhi-mind.’ Is this not a great hero able to perform the deeds of a great hero, performing in kalpas exceeding sands of dust exceeding and extraordinary Buddhist deeds? The mountain monk today, with such a mind, speaks such a Dharma, universally inviting the sentient beings of the great earth, sentient and insentient, to enter together the pure gate of great liberation and become friends unasked with the Grand Preceptor, Prince Xun Zhonglie. With one and the same eye seeing, one and the same ear hearing, and one and the same reception and use, doing vast, extraordinary, and inconceivable benefit. And relying on what principle can it be like this? The sharp sword sweeps open, and heaven and earth are tranquil; / No sooner is the frosted blade lifted than the Dipper and Ox turn cold.” > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.81](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1999.1.81) - [Next: 1.83](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1999.1.83) - [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.1.82) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1999.1.82](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1999.1.82) · Pramāṇa
