A monk asked: "When the great functioning manifests before one without keeping to rules, how is it?" The master said: "The Zhang brothers are far too unscrupulous." The monk said: "If so, then it is present in every place." The master said: "Better not to insult people." A monk asked: "When the mind arises, phenomena arise; when the mind ceases, phenomena cease. Just when mind and phenomena are both forgotten, where are arising and ceasing?" The master said: "Obtained by the left hand, used by the right hand." A monk asked: "What is the matter of the ancestral lineage from above?" The master said: "One mu of land." The monk said: "What if one understands it just so?" The master said: "Burying it quite a lot." A monk asked: "What is the original source of all the Buddhas?" The master said: "Asking the way on the roof." The monk said: "Is there anything further beyond?" The master said: "Tossing a brick beneath the moon." He ascended the hall: "Before passing through the ancestral barrier, a thousand difficulties and ten thousand hardships; having passed through the ancestral barrier, a thousand difficulties and ten thousand hardships. Putting aside for a moment the difficulty before passing through, why is it so hard to let go after having passed through? Although the strainer commands a price, shaking its handle is quite unwarranted." He ascended the hall: "Like me, yet lacking affinity with you; knocking over the medicine pot, pouring out the hearth smoke. A single pill of the restored elixir is clearly present; how many years has it wandered in the human realm? Bah!" He ascended the hall: "A wild goose crosses the vast sky; its shadow sinks into the cold water. The wild goose has no intention to leave a trace; the water has no mind to retain a shadow. If you can be like this, it is just the right time to buy straw sandals and go on itinerant pilgrimage. Therefore it is said: 'When there is movement, shadows appear; when there is awareness, ice forms.' Without movement and without awareness, one is right inside dead water. Putting aside for a moment the old fellow of Jianfu being unable to poke his head out, how is it today for Yuwang? I tell you not to take the path below the mountain; truly one hears the heart-wrenching cries of apes." On New Year's Day, he ascended the hall, held up his whisk, and said: "'Putting brush to paper on New Year's morn, all affairs are auspicious.' If suddenly a fellow comes out and says, 'Upādhyāya, this is writing for a village headman in a hamlet of three households; why bring it beneath the gate and treat it as the ancestral lineage upon the throne of the Dharma King?' I would simply say to him, 'A thousand head of cattle enter; a hundred head of horses come in.'" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 24.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.24.11) - [Next: 24.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.24.13) - [Up: 24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.24) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077~en-mt.24.12) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.24.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.24.12) · Pramāṇa
