A monk asked: "Leaving aside the Patriarch's meaning in coming from the West, what is of one color?" The master said: "Before my eyes there is no ācārya; here there is no old monk." \[The monk\] said: "Since it is not so, how does one understand it?" The master said: "Grasp the meaning at the hook's tip; do not settle on the fixed mark of the steelyard." He then said: "Whenever there is a question and answer, it is just like sparks bursting forth from striking a flint, flowing out as inexhaustible Dharma wealth; the three types of grass and two types of trees are universally moistened by its enrichment. Letting go, clouds arise at the mouth of the valley and fog enshrouds the vast sky; holding fast, even a blue-eyed barbarian monk must be at a loss. Shousheng's raising and expounding like this is still merely a teaching method; above all, it does not yet have a patch-robed monk's hold. Dare I ask you all: what is a patch-robed monk's hold?" After a long pause, he said: "Cloth needle opens two eyes; toward which end do you look?" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 21.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.21.7) - [Next: 21.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.21.9) - [Up: 21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.21) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077~en-mt.21.8) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.21.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.21.8) · Pramāṇa
