What is the thing that remains perpetually numinous?" > The Master said: "Clearly enduring beyond all forms, towering foremost before all operations." > \[The monk\] asked: "If so, when the poor household is robbed, it cannot be stripped bare." > The Master said: "Before the dry skull, behind the leather bag." > \[The monk\] asked: "Right at such a time, what is its original face?" > The Master said: "A fellow with rheum in his eyes—what is there to talk with him about?" > The Master then said: "The lump of red flesh has no master; the kalpa of emptiness has a home. Fully ten parts of pure white livelihood, an expansive stretch of life. The wind is high at the moonlit door as clouds gather over the ancient path; the waves are calm on the starry river as a numinous raft floats by night. Venerable Zen practitioners! Mind alone accomplishes the ten thousand dharmas; transformation Buddhas manifest on a thousand flowers. Quickly pull the fragrant elephant back by its nose; take special care not to step directly on the dead snake." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.4.42) - [Next: 4.44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.4.44) - [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.4.43) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.4.43](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.4.43) · Pramāṇa
