Chan Master Xiu resided and practiced at Yuquan Monastery in Dangyang County, Jiangling Prefecture of the Southern Capital, Jingzhou; Master Huineng resided and practiced at Caoxi Mountain, thirty-five li east of the city of Shaozhou. The Dharma is indeed one tradition, but the persons were in the south and north; therefore 'Southern' and 'Northern' were established. Why 'gradual' and 'sudden'? The Dharma is indeed of one kind, but seeing is slow or rapid: when seeing is slow, it is gradual; when seeing is rapid, it is sudden. The Dharma has neither gradual nor sudden, but people are sharp or dull; therefore it is called gradual and sudden. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2007.1.47) - [Next: 1.49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2007.1.49) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2007.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2007~en-mt.1.48) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2007.1.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2007.1.48) · Pramāṇa
