Those who, like Zhang Pingshu, comprehended the Buddha-nature, or like Lǚ Dongbin, awakened to Chan principles, are only seen once in a while. Nowadays, Daoist practitioners do not know how to study: they claim immortals are yang souls and Buddhists are yin ghosts, composing such theories to mislead later generations. These are all errors resulting from not knowing Buddha-nature and Chan principles. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 45.71](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.45.71) - [Next: 46.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.46.1) - [Up: 45](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.45) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035~en-mt.45.72) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.45.72](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.45.72) · Pramāṇa
