This is the arena for choosing Buddhas; with an empty mind, one passes the exam and returns.'" The Master said: "Since it is non-action, how do you learn it? If the mind is empty, how does one pass the exam? Do you understand? If not yet so, Tiantong will explain it further for you: / Drink dry the giant sea, topple Mount Sumeru; / Vast, spirit-like comprehension—who else could it be? / Fragrant and lovely in the forest, the sandalwood branch; / Roaring as it emerges from the cave, the lion's cub. / The three thousand worlds appear in the snap of a finger; / Eighty thousand gates open with a pair of working eyebrows. / Knowing or not knowing, acting or not acting— / The Way fills the ten places, the mind transcends countless kalpas; / Shadows flow through the myriad phenomena, energy divides into the two modes." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.173](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.4.173) - [Next: 4.175](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.4.175) - [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.4.174) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.4.174](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.4.174) · Pramāṇa
