A monk asked, 'Having just entered the monastery, I beg the master's instruction.' The master said, 'Wishing to travel a thousand miles, one step is the beginning.' The monk said, 'Throughout the twelve periods of the day, how should one practice?' The master said, 'The white clouds have no mind; the blue sky has the sun.' He instructed the assembly, saying, 'Whether there is profit or no profit, do not leave the marketplace. Never mind Master Wang selling his body; tell me, is there anyone who will make an offer on the rice of Luling? If no one does, this old monk will sell it and buy it himself.' After a long pause, he said, 'Walking eastward, one does not see the profit of walking westward.' He struck once with his staff. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 16.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.16.23) - [Next: 16.25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.16.25) - [Up: 16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.16) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077~en-mt.16.24) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.16.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.16.24) · Pramāṇa
