A monk asked, "What is the meaning of the Patriarch's coming from the West?" The Master said, "No sand enters the eye." The monk said, "How should I comprehend it?" The Master said, "No water enters the ear." The monk said, "In that case, I make my prostration." The Master said, "The eastern house lights a lamp; the western house sits in the dark." He ascended the hall and said, "The West Lake faintly reveals the mountain peak's elegance; / The pavilions are uneven as if painted in a picture. / Practitioners of Chan dwell together in the Jetavana; / Do not let an entire lifetime pass in vain." He then stepped down from the seat. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.2.29) - [Next: 2.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.2.31) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077~en-mt.2.30) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.2.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.2.30) · Pramāṇa
