Baiyun Duan 7: Vimalakirti Was Silent

In the Vimalakirti Sutra, of thirty two bodhisattvas, every one spoke of the Dharma-gate of non-duality. When they arrived at Vimalakirti, he was silent.

In admiration, Manjusri exclaimed, “Even without speech or written words, there is the true entry of the Dharma-gate of non-duality!”

[0296a03] 維摩經。三十二菩薩。各說不二法門。至維摩。摩默然。文殊讚嘆曰。乃至無有語言文字。是真入不二法門。

One and two and one hundred ten millions…
Use your fingers to count, the amount is unmanageable—
For now, place it before the hazy window,
You can reckon it again tomorrow.

[0296a06] 一個兩個百千萬。屈指尋文數不辦。暫時放在暗窓前。明日與君重計算。
