Looking at these end-times, the authentic lineage was about to sink; without a bean bursting from cold ashes, how could Yunfeng's flesh stay warm? Thus Master-Ancestor Songyuan said: 'A broom stump ruined for many years: / Casually picked up, it settles the ancestral guidelines. / Such a standard is naturally distinct, / Unlike the reckless fellows of every quarter.' This was the old man's indignation. Today, before the assembly of humans and devas, I entrust it to Upādhyāya Shifan to broadly propagate the fragrant model by the walls of Gusu City, so that patch-robed monks of the world may know of the genuine continuation of Dongshan." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.65](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.8.65) - [Next: 8.67](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.8.67) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000~en-mt.8.66) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.8.66](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.8.66) · Pramāṇa
