Book 229 - Mystical Dialogues on Enlightenment
Translated by Lama Lotuschef
One night, Lotus YiHao had a very vivid dream, as follows:
There is a beautiful high mountain, and a ancient temple within. Golden Mother of the Yao Pond and Grandmaster Lu resides within this temple.
It seems that YiHao has cultivate to Attainment, and preparing to make his farewell and descend the mountain.
Grandmaster Lu said to YiHao: I have nothing else to gift you but this staff, to aid you maneuver the mountain path smoothly.
Golden Mother of the Yao Pond said: YiHao, I have this handkerchief, use when you perspire on your way down the mountain.
After receiving these staff and handkerchief, Lotus YiHao said: Thanks to Grandmaster Lu, Thanks to Golden Mother of the Yao Pond, student is leaving now, hope to not negate your wishes to widely succor all sentient beings to repay Guru's kindness in guidance.
Thereafter, YiHao left.
He met a tiger midway down the mountain. This tiger roared with mouth wide open, displaying its sharp wide teeth, prancing towards YiHao.
YiHao raised the staff, unknowingly the staff emitted a ray of white light, directed at the tiger.
Upon sight of this white light, tiger got frightened and turn around and ran away!
And then:
YiHao lost his way on the descend, can't differentiate East South West North, turning over one mountain after another, through one forest after another, but all peaks linked together, trees of forests like a widespread green space, can't find the route to descend the mountain.
In a moment of haste, he drew out the handkerchief gifted by Golden Mother of the Yao Pond to wipe his perspiration. Upon this Drawing, the handkerchief transformed into white cloud, with YiHao standing on the cloud, the cloud flew and sent Lotus YiHao down the mountain. Hearing the sound of howling wind whisking by, he arrived home in a short while.
He woke up from his dream then.
Lotus YiHao asked : What is the meaning of meeting a tiger on the route?
I answered: All Sentient Matters, Sliced into 2!
Lotus YiHao asked : There is no knife in hand?
I answered: Since there is no knife, then there is no tiger.
(this statement has deep meaning).
Lotus YiHao asked : Lost direction, handkerchief as cloud, transported home, means what?
I answered: Need to abide Discipline!
He asked: How to abide Discipline?
I: Need to have Wisdom Eye!
He asked: What mean Wisdom Eye?
I: Discern East South West North.
YiHao asked: What is handkerchief transforming into cloud?
I: Departing without Trace.
(this statement has deep meaning).
YiHao asked: How do I succor sentient beings widely? Sentient beings how to succor?
I laugh heartily : White Bone Like Mountain
(this statement has deep meaning).
{{{ Saintly students, Lotus Yihao's dream is very meaningful. A cultivator's most adverse to violence and dangerous matters, like dream of meeting tiger, most people would have been scared to death or lost their guts and lost faith in Path of Dao/Bodhi.
Moreover, when leaving mountain, can't differentiate the 4 directions, True Path; Evil Path; also can't differentiate. Upon entering the Wrong path, want to return to Right Path, is already very difficult! Succoring Self is extremely difficult, what more succoring sentient beings?
This dream can caution Saintly students, that before attainment of the Fruits of Path, Body[Life] already lost! }}}
