This old Vimalakīrti, (Why 'Bah' him? Three thousand blows in the morning, eight hundred in the evening; saying 'Bah' does no good—thirty blows of the staff should be given!) / Out of compassion, emptily gives rise to grief. (Why pity him? One naturally has the precious sword of the Vajra King; increasing ignorance over someone else's idle business—laboring without achievement.) / He lies ill in Vaiśālī, (Brought about because of whom? Implicating all people.) / His whole body utterly emaciated. (Put illness aside for a moment; why is his mouth like a shoulder-pole? He cannot eat rice, and he cannot draw breath.) / When the ancestral master of the seven Buddhas came, (When a guest comes, one must attend to him; when a thief comes, one must beat him. Flocking in groups, one must indeed be an adept to handle it.) / The single room was swept again and again. (This still remains! So it turns out he was making a living in a ghost cave.) / When asked about the non-dual gate, (If there were anything that could be said, he had already said it. Striking, he said, "Venerable Sir, it cannot be found either.") / At that moment he was leaned against and knocked down. (Heavens, heavens! What did he say?) / Not leaned against and knocked down— (Gaining life amid death; breath still remains.) / Nowhere to search for the golden-haired lion." (Bah! Do you still see it? Heavens, heavens!) > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 9.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003.9.17) - [Next: 9.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003.9.19) - [Up: 9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003.9) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003~en-mt.9.18) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003.9.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003.9.18) · Pramāṇa
