4.40

The pointer says: One who functions halfway along the road is like a tiger leaning against a mountain; one who circulates within conventional truth is like an ape in a cage. If you wish to know the meaning of Buddha-nature, you should observe the conditions of time and season; if you wish to forge hundred-times-refined pure gold, it takes the hearth and bellows of an adept. Tell me: for one before whom the great function is manifested, what do you use to test him?
