When he first took leave of his kin and loved ones, he was fond of the school of emptiness. Hearing that there was a path of special transmission outside the teachings, his mindful focus grew keener day by day. He then slung his bag on his back and departed through the passes, intending to join monastic communities. At that time, Venerable Dawei Tai was dwelling at Deshan. Dan visited him just as Tai ascended the hall and brought up the following: “Zhaozhou said: ‘I have already seen through the old woman of Mount Wutai for you.’ Tell me, what was his meaning?” After a good while, he said: “Bending down to the earth, I rake away the yellow leaves; entering the mountains, I roll out the white clouds.” When Dan heard this, the doubts and obstacles of his life dissolved away. The next day, he entered the room. Tai asked: “Why did the former Baizhang fall into the wild fox by not falling into cause and effect? Why did the latter Baizhang escape the wild fox by not obscuring cause and effect?” Dan said: “A fine thing to bury them together in one pit!” After dwelling \[as an abbot\], he ascended the hall and said: “A three-legged donkey gallops along, step by step accompanying and not falling down. Startled up from the treetops, two carps are brought forth: one old, one not old. Out of love for the pines and bamboos, he draws the clear breeze; alas, step out the gate, and it is all weeds. Calling on the beloved youth, he recognizes him: great potential and great function are both pushed down. Burning incense to examine and verify, he sees the root source; atop a pile of manure, he picks up a jewel. The monastic community noisily and vainly bargains; I urge you not to slander the former master.” Dan's gate and style were stern and austere, and his turning words were sharp and fierce; therefore, students mostly found it difficult to anchor there. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2062.6.32) - [Next: 6.34](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2062.6.34) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2062.6) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2062~en-mt.6.33) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [續傳燈錄](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.31.13) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2062.6.33](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2062.6.33) · Pramāṇa
