Seven and eight are numbers, yet the matter is difficult to calculate. Concealment and manifestation not yet distinguished may for now be set aside; before black and white are divided, how can a phrase be spoken?" After a long pause, he said, "Meeting within the autumn colors, chatting together under the bright moonlight." He ascended the hall: "The Patriarch's wondrous directive has nothing else to be spoken of. Even with an iron tongue and nailed lips, one still cannot avoid making a mess trying to be clever. Jingming has already leaked the celestial secret." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 12.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.12.11) - [Next: 12.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.12.13) - [Up: 12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.12) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077~en-mt.12.12) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.12.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.12.12) · Pramāṇa
