If you have this old monk speak of it, that would be drawing feet on a snake. This is the sudden teaching, venerable sthaviras.” > A monk thereupon asked: “Not asking about drawing feet on a snake, what is the fundamental matter?” > The master said: “Ācārya, try speaking of it and see.” > The monk was about to ask again, but the master said: “Why draw feet?” > Upādhyāya Mingshui asked: “What is suddenly attaining the Dharma-body?” > The master said: “Once leaping over the Dragon Gate, one gazes beyond the clouds; do not become a fish in the Yellow River that only gets its forehead bruised.” > Yangshan asked: “When all is completely still and silent, how does one see and hear?” > The master said: “In front of the seamless stūpa there is much rain.” > A monk asked: “How is it when neither side speaks?” > The master said: “It is the constant.” > The monk said: “Is there still something that surpasses the constant?” > The master said: “There is.” > The monk said: “Please, Master, sing it out.” > The master said: “The dark pearl shines radiantly of itself; why need light from beyond the wall?” > A monk asked: “Today we make offerings to Great Master Wuran of Xichuan. I wonder whether the Great Master will come or not?” > The master said: “From the beginning he has never arrived anywhere; would he today turn with the wind?” > The monk said: “If so, then what is the use of making offerings?” > The master said: “Effort in conditioned action does not exchange with the truth, yet their senses interpenetrate.” > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 10.43](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2076.10.43) - [Next: 10.45](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2076.10.45) - [Up: 10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2076.10) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2076~en-mt.10.44) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2076.10.44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2076.10.44) · Pramāṇa
