The Master initially called upon Chan Master Shenxiu and attained the essential purport. He built a thatched hut on Mount Sanfeng in Shouzhou. There was a wild man whose clothes were plain and simple, and whose speech was bizarre. At times he would miraculously manifest the forms of Buddhas, bodhisattvas, śrāvakas, heavenly immortals, and the like, or radiate extraordinary light, or emit noises—hundreds of forms of demonic illusions. The Master's followers were constantly alarmed and frightened, and none could comprehend it. It was like this for ten years before he vanished without a trace. The Master told the assembly, 'The wild man displayed endless tricks to dazzle and confuse people. It only took this old monk neither seeing nor hearing; his tricks are finite, but my neither seeing nor hearing is infinite.' Because of this, when those far and near heard of it, there was none who did not admire and submit to him. This is what is meant by 'seeing the uncanny and not being amazed by it, the uncanny naturally defeats itself.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 15.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.15.19) - [Next: 15.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.15.21) - [Up: 15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.15) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036~en-mt.15.20) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.15.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.15.20) · Pramāṇa
