Lay Mount Sumeru across as the level-measure; measure the great ocean as the peck. Therefore, killing and giving life are at the fore; withdrawing and releasing come behind. Credit goes to choking shut the mouth of empty space. Do you still understand? Tiantong would not dare betray you; he gladly serves as the crowing cock and the barking dog." - [Previous: 2.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2002a~en-mt.2.21) - [Next: 2.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2002a~en-mt.2.23) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2002a~en-mt.2) ## Linked texts (1) - [如淨和尚語錄](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2002a.2.22) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2002a~en-mt.2.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2002a~en-mt.2.22) · Pramāṇa
