Ascending the hall, he held up his staff and said, "The sun and moon cannot rival its brightness; the rivers and seas cannot contend with its depth; Mount Sumeru cannot match its height; heaven and earth cannot equal its solidity. The wisdom of sages and ordinary people cannot reach it. Tell me: what strong point does this have?" After a long pause, he said, "Its joints are clear and distinct, born naturally straight. When ice and snow are struck open, it divides piece by piece; when white clouds are pierced, it relies on their strength." He struck the meditation bench and stepped down from the seat. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 12.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.12.6) - [Next: 12.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.12.8) - [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.12.7) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.12.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.12.7) · Pramāṇa
