For patch-robed monks, coming and going is not done through appearances, and movement and stillness are not done through the mind. When dark functioning is without fixed direction, the myriad capacities are instantly revealed. Then one sees the iron tree putting forth branches atop the peak of Yunhuang, and waves rising without wind beside the small white flowers. Everywhere is the realm of the Universal Gate; in every aspect is the bodhimaṇḍa of Maitreya. Not reacting to the myriad conditions, spiritual clarity is naturally attained, immediately bringing about the breeze of Yao and the sun of Shun, to enjoy peaceful prosperity together, while the woodcutter's chant and fisherman's song are all drenched in the sagely transformation. In the end, what is taken as verification?" Striking with the whisk: "Walking over the cliff sedge, the auspicious qilin steps steadily; / Flying from the ocean trees, the white phoenix is at ease." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.2.9) - [Next: 2.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.2.11) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000~en-mt.2.10) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.2.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.2.10) · Pramāṇa
