If each of you, upon hearing the beginning, knows the end, and puts down the burden of self and others, then naturally the tall one is the tall Dharma-body, and the short one is the short Dharma-body—Maudgalyāyana and Śāriputra would have nowhere to set their eyes on you. This mountain monk usually does not provide footnotes for people. If you were to understand from seeing smoke beyond the mountain and knowing there is fire, how could that do? Tonight, having already unrolled and not rolled back, I cannot avoid grabbing east and clutching west for a while, treating a dead horse for the time being." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.161](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.1.161) - [Next: 1.163](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.1.163) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000~en-mt.1.162) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.1.162](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.1.162) · Pramāṇa
