8.94

Ascending the hall on the Buddha's Parinirvāṇa: "The Dharma-body is unconditioned and does not fall into numbers; why then does it have arising and ceasing? If you can understand like this, I allow that everyday as you open your bedding and unroll your bowl, you meet old Śākya in person. If not yet so: turning iron into gold and jade is easy; persuading people to get rid of right and wrong is hard."
