Zhou said, "At the end of the year, \[we\] do not burn paper money." The Master said: Tiantong cannot help but tear it open for you today: an aged and venerable great lineage master, his words from the beginning without commemorative stele, yet he says, "At the end of the year, \[we\] do not burn paper money"—what ancestral teacher's coming from the West are you looking for? Grinding and washing away every flaw; chewing without flavor. Seen from the cold ground, there is no trick: the ancient Buddha Zhaozhou was a bit \[superior\]. What is the place where Zhaozhou was a bit \[superior\]? Do you not see it said: Not practicing Chan, not discussing doctrines, / Spreading a torn mat, sleeping in the sun. / I suspect that even in Tuṣita Heaven above, / There is no sun warming the back like this. If someone suddenly came out and asked, "Can I sleep like that too?" I would just say to him, "I fear you have never even dreamed of it." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.100](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.4.100) - [Next: 4.102](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.4.102) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001~en-mt.4.101) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.4.101](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.4.101) · Pramāṇa
