- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [1.96](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2008.1.96)

「經誦三千部，曹溪一句亡，  
未明出世旨，寧歇累生狂。  
羊鹿牛權設，初中後善揚，  
誰知火宅內，元是法中王。」

> "Three thousand recitations of the sūtra,  
> Lost in a single phrase at Caoxi.  
> Without understanding the purport of leaving the world,  
> How could the madness of accumulated lives be stilled?  
> Goat, deer, and bullock are provisionally established;  
> Excellently proclaimed in the beginning, middle, and end.  
> Who knew that inside the burning house  
> One was originally the king of dharmas?"  
> — English (machine translation) (machine translation)
