With a shout from Tiantong, it flies out and turns into an iron hammer without a hole, rolling into waste fields and tangled grasses, letting the sun scorch and the wind blow it. Why is it like this? Picking up the spoon and holding the chopsticks—who knows how many? Unless one is an intimate friend, it is not easily known." - [Previous: 2.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2002a~en-mt.2.23) - [Next: 2.25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2002a~en-mt.2.25) - [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.2.24) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2002a~en-mt.2.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2002a~en-mt.2.24) · Pramāṇa
