(The Transmission of the Lamp states: Danxia was a man of the time of Emperor Wenzong of the Tang. Being a Confucian, he was heading to Chang'an to sit for the examinations when he met a monk who said: "How can being selected as an official compare to being chosen as a Buddha?" Danxia went to Jiangxi to Mazu; upon arriving, Mazu said: "Your condition is with Shitou." Upon arriving there, he was ordered to tend the hearth; after three years, his head was shaved, and he completely understood the patriarchal intent. This means that Danxia was once a Confucian, but ultimately returned to the Buddhist school and subsequently attained the Way.) > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.95](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.2.95) - [Next: 2.97](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.2.97) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118~en-mt.2.96) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.2.96](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.2.96) · Pramāṇa
