Plunging his mind into antiquity, he was no ordinary Confucian of the world. When he completely abandoned his learning to practice Buddhism, he must have had a firm insight. Nowadays, those who practice Confucianism have not attained what Longshu did, yet they wish to imitate the erroneous words of Han Yu and Ouyang Xiu in refuting Buddhism through casual chatter; these people are completely inadequate to realize that the ways of the two traditions are fundamentally not contradictory. As for his discussion of the mundane and supramundane, although it does not exhaust the principle, his statement that the Buddha can fully perceive the origin and end of the karmic conditions of all living beings hits the mark. Gentlemen such as Su Shi and Huang Tingjian truly understood this. The predecessors of the Yi and Luo rivers could only take the Way as their personal burden, and thus occasionally rejected Buddhism, yet they were inadequate to understand this meaning. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 47.49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.47.49) - [Next: 47.51](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.47.51) - [Up: 47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.47) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035~en-mt.47.50) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.47.50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.47.50) · Pramāṇa
