When he first finished his travels and studies, he returned to his home temple. A senior monk asked: “In the moonlight, a broken well rope is called a snake by ordinary people. I wonder what Brother Qi calls it when seeing a Buddha?” > The Master said: “If there is a view of Buddha, it is identical to ordinary beings.” (Fayan gave an alternative: “What time of day is it to ask this?” Fadeng gave an alternative: “What is called is not it.”) > The senior monk said: “A thousand-year-old peach stone.” > > The Master sent a monk to ask Yangshan: “Nowadays, do people still rely on enlightenment?” > Yangshan said: “Enlightenment is not lacking, but how can one help falling into the secondary?” > The Master deeply affirmed this. > He also sent a monk to ask Dongshan: “How is that ultimate one?” > Dongshan said: “You must ask him yourself before you will get it.” > The Master affirmed this as well. > > A monk asked: “What is the matter beneath the patch-robed monk’s robe?” > The Master said: “Let anyone dislike its ugliness; it is not draped in the colors of clouds and mist.” > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 11.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2076.11.19) - [Next: 11.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2076.11.21) - [Up: 11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2076.11) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2076~en-mt.11.20) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2076.11.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2076.11.20) · Pramāṇa
