A monk asked, "How is it when the clam contains \[the pearl\] before it is split open?" The Master said, "From where does the light come?" \[The monk\] asked, "Linji shouted as soon as someone entered the gate, and Deshan struck with a blow as soon as someone entered the gate. What is the meaning of this?" The Master said, "When the sky clears, not willing to go." The Master saw a monk reading a sutra and thereupon asked, "What sutra are you reading?" The monk was silent. Thereupon \[the Master\] presented a verse, saying: / "Reading the sutra without knowing the sutra, / You needlessly strain your eyes. / If you wish not to damage your eyes, / Distinctly and clearly know the sutra." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 10.35](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.10.35) - [Next: 10.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.10.37) - [Up: 10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.10) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077~en-mt.10.36) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.10.36](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.10.36) · Pramāṇa
