He studied the meditation teaching under the Master of Wisdom for a long time and attained awakening. His recitation of the Lotus Sūtra produced many auspicious signs, and an extraordinary fragrance was smelled for several tens of li. Emperor Yang revered him as extraordinary and bestowed on him the title Dhyāna Master Dajue (Great Awakening). Dhyāna Master Daren was eminent during the Liang dynasty, nurturing the Way at Jiangshan. At that time, when doctrinal assemblies were held with the Master of Wisdom in the mountains, he suddenly awakened to meditative wisdom and sighed in admiration, saying: 'This does not come from written texts; it is prajñā whose eloquence flows freely according to the capacity observed. It is neither dull nor sharp; sharpness and dullness depend on the capacity. Abundance meeting the moment is its sharp aspect; a deep pool producing a great flower can be comprehended even by the dull (the Dazhidulun says: seeing two ferocious beasts, one knows the dragon is crude; seeing a deep pool, one knows the flower is great). When fortunate enough to receive the lingering glow, how could one not rejoice in oneself?' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 9.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.9.41) - [Next: 9.43](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.9.43) - [Up: 9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.9) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035~en-mt.9.42) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.9.42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.9.42) · Pramāṇa
