Now Master Yuan was only twenty-one; merely hearing a neighboring monk recite Sixin's words, he then thoroughly realized \[it\]. That the sharpness of his capacity surpassed that of Dahui can generally be known. Emerging into the world, he first resided at Nanming and finally dwelt at Huguo. The monastery called him "Yuan Cloth-Sack" because he had the demeanor of a holy man. Jiantang Ji came out from his gate; when preaching the Dharma and taking up the mallet, his words were heroic, his vigor grand, and his dynamic edge complete and agile. This makes the lofty standard of Master Yuan all the more evident. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2062.5.17) - [Next: 5.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2062.5.19) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2062.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2062~en-mt.5.18) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2062.5.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2062.5.18) · Pramāṇa
