Take Pūrvavideha as one Buddha; take Jambudvīpa as one Buddha; take Aparagodānīya as one Buddha; take Uttarakuru as one Buddha. The grasses, trees, and forests are Buddha; the wriggling and fluttering sentient beings are Buddha. Since it is so, what again do you call sentient beings? Do you understand yet or not? It is not as good as returning Pūrvavideha to Pūrvavideha, returning Jambudvīpa to Jambudvīpa, returning Aparagodānīya to Aparagodānīya, and returning Uttarakuru to Uttarakuru; returning the grasses, trees, and forests to the grasses, trees, and forests, and returning the wriggling and fluttering sentient beings to the wriggling and fluttering sentient beings. Therefore it is said: 'These phenomena abide in phenomenal positions; the characteristics of the world are ever-abiding.' Since it is so, what again do you call Buddha? Do you understand? If suddenly a fellow comes out and says, 'Baiyun, cease your sleep-talk!' Assembly, remember this turning!" The Three Buddhas were attending the Master, conversing at night on a pavilion. When they were returning, the lamp had already gone out. The Master said in the dark, "Let each of you produce a turning word." Fojian said, "A colorful phoenix dances in the crimson skies." Foyan said, "An iron snake lies across the ancient road." Foguo said, "Look at your feet." The Master said, "The one who will extinguish my lineage is none other than you, Keqin!" On the twenty-fifth day of the sixth month in the third year of the Chongning reign era, \[the Master\] ascended the hall to take leave of the assembly, saying: "Master Zhaozhou had a final phrase. How do you understand it? Try to come forward and speak. If you can understand it, there is no harm in being at ease and joyful. If not, how do you explain this good matter?" After a long pause, he said, "Having spoken it, it is spoken; it is just that none of you realize it. Do you want to understand? / 'The rich begrudge a thousand mouths as too few; / The poor resent a single body as too many.' / Take care." At that time there was a construction project at the monastery gate. He went in person to supervise it and said, "Strive diligently, all of you; I will not come again." Returning to the abbot's room, he shaved his hair and bathed his body. At dawn, he auspiciously passed away. That night, mountains crumbled and rocks fell; within forty li the crags and valleys roared and shook. When cremated, relics fell like rain. A stupa was erected to the south of Dongshan. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 20.30.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.20.30.3) - [Next: 20.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.20.31) - [Up: 20.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.20.30) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077~en-mt.20.30.4) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [大慧普覺禪師宗門武庫](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998b.1.52) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.20.30.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.20.30.4) · Pramāṇa
