Clearly, clearly! Going out once and entering once, half-closed and half-open; those who lay it out flat, try distinguishing black from white.'" > The master said, "Mingjue was the Dragon Gate of a whole generation, yet his mind of picking and choosing was not yet obliterated. This mountain monk equates the ordinary with the Path, bringing them together at a single glance. Why? It is urgent." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.162](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.1.162) - [Next: 1.164](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.1.164) - [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.1.163) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.1.163](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.1.163) · Pramāṇa
