A monk asked, "What is the meaning of the Patriarch's coming from the West?" > The Master said, "Water comes forth from the mountain." > He asked, "What is the intention?" > The Master said, "How could a mountain stream detain it?" > He then said, "The mountain flowers are like silk brocade—Mañjuśrī bumps into them with his eyes; the secluded birds chirp melodiously—Avalokiteśvara plugs up his ears. Worthy ones, what else are you pondering? Last night at the third watch I could not sleep; rolling over, I caught Samantabhadra and banished him to the land of the unarisen. In one sleep straight until dawn, this morning I am again able to meet with you all and talk of dreams. Ah, what kind of talk is this?" He struck the staff and stepped down from the seat. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 7.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.7.17) - [Next: 7.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.7.19) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.7) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077~en-mt.7.18) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.7.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.7.18) · Pramāṇa
