Master Juzhi obtained the 'one finger Chan' of Tianlong and held up a finger for the rest of his life; Elder Duan saw someone performing with a toy lion to illuminate the ground of his mind and constantly wore multicolored clothes; and someone who misread the Śūraṅgama did not correct the phrasing—these are all of this kind. Let wild, reckless, and self-indulgent people beware of using this as an excuse. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.243](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072.1.243) - [Next: 1.245](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072.1.245) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072~en-mt.1.244) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072.1.244](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072.1.244) · Pramāṇa
