To call it the upright rank already strays from intimacy. Where does the black rooster crow in the middle of the night? A withered tree blooms into flowers—a spring beyond the kalpas. Extending mercy freely with hands outspread, it constantly benefits beings; Once the mind intends and clings, it already departs from the real. Look at the crane grove on the day of Nirvāṇa: He once raised both soles to display them to the multitude. - [Previous: 2.80](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2006~en-mt.2.80) - [Next: 2.82](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2006~en-mt.2.82) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2006~en-mt.2) ## Linked texts (1) - [人天眼目](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2006.2.81) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2006~en-mt.2.81](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2006~en-mt.2.81) · Pramāṇa
