He was born into the Ge family of Heng\[yang\]. When young he was skilled in writing, and did not enjoy secular life. Relying on Mountain Master Yu of Chaling, he shaved his head. In his twenties, he studied under Chan Master \[Gao\]yong. When Yong passed away, Yangqi Fanghui succeeded to the seat. Seeing Duan, he marveled at him, and would converse with him throughout the night. One day he suddenly asked, "Who is the master under whom the Venerable One trained?" Duan said, "The Upādhyāya Yu of Chaling." Hui said, "I have heard that when crossing a stream he had an awakening and wrote a verse that was extraordinarily remarkable. Can you remember it?" Duan then recited: > "I have a bright pearl, / Long fettered and locked by worldly toil. / Today the dust is gone and light arises, / Illumining ten thousand peaks of mountains and rivers." > Hui laughed loudly and stood up to leave. Duan looked around in astonishment, unable to sleep all night. The next day, he sought to enter the room to inquire about the matter. At the time it was New Year's Day. Hui said, "Did you see the players performing as foxes yesterday and last night?" Duan said, "I saw them." Hui said, "You are one notch inferior to them." Duan was again greatly astounded and said, "What do you mean?" Hui said, "They love to have people laugh; you fear people laughing." At these words, Duan had a great awakening. Bidding farewell, he went to travel Mount Lu. Master Yuantong Juenan saw him, considered himself inferior, recommended him to reside at Chengtian in Jiangzhou, and vacated his own seat for him to dwell there, while residing himself in the Eastern Hall. Duan was twenty-eight years old at the time. Believing that when an elder yields to the virtuous, the monastery places a heavy responsibility on oneself, he presided over the assembly with respect and strictness, abolishing selfishness through public devotion; thus the lineage style flourished greatly. Before long, Master Juenan grew weary of quietude; when the prefect arrived, Juenan personally explained his feelings of being a guest. The prefect, deeply sympathetic, looked at Duan; Duan smiled and merely assented. The next day, he ascended the hall and said, "In the past, Fayan had a verse saying: > 'Difficult, difficult, difficult, shedding affection is difficult; / Utterly pure, perfectly bright, a single cold sphere. / Using expedients to shed affection is still not it; / To eliminate expedients as well is utterly without cause.' > Assembly, tell me: how is affection to be shed?" He gave a shout, stepped down from the seat, shouldered his bundle, and left. The entire assembly was greatly startled and tried to restrain him, but could not. He crossed the river and spent the summer in a spare room at Wuzu. In Shuzhou there was a small monastery called Fahua; its abbots were like birds in a cage, never forgetting to fly away. The prefect of Shu heard of Duan's lofty reputation and wished to observe the man, so he sent an official invitation requesting him to reside there. Duan came gladly, leaning on his staff. Monks arrived in such numbers that there was no room to accommodate them, and scholar-officials considered him worthy. When he moved to Baiyun Haihui, he ascended the hall, looked over the assembly, and said: "Before the drum was struck, before this mountain monk ascended the seat, it was a fine likeness of an ancient Buddha. If someone can appreciate it here, it can be said that the ancient Śākyamuni is not before, and the present Maitreya is not after. If you further listen to the three-inch tongue uttering empty fabrications, discrepancies have already arisen. One must possess eyes that discern discrepancies before one can save it completely." Then he said: "Let me be grandmotherly with you again: when you open your mouth, the very last phrase hits the mark precisely; when you take a step, the very last step treads upon it precisely. Why are your nostrils not straight? Because you usually see that nostrils are stubborn, and so are unwilling to rest your mind. Today I urge all of you to let them go." After a long pause, he said, "One!" and immediately stepped down from the seat. His sectarian style was lofty and outstanding like this. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 19.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.19.5) - [Next: 19.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.19.7) - [Up: 19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.19) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036~en-mt.19.6) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.19.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.19.6) · Pramāṇa
