§36 破五通仙眼喻
(36) to blind an immortal
昔有一人，入山学道，得五通仙，天眼彻视，能见地中一切伏藏，种种珍宝。国王闻之，心大欢喜，便语臣曰：
once upon a time, there was a man who went to the mountains to learn buddhist priesthood. he succeeded in becoming an immortal possessing five supernatural powers. his divine vision could perceive all hidden sundry treasures. upon hearing it, the king said to one of his ministers excitedly:
“云何得使此人常在我国，不余处去，使我藏中得多珍宝？”
"in order to add more valuable things to my treasury, could you make this man live permanently in our country?"
有一愚臣，辄便往至，挑仙人双眼，持来白王：“臣以挑眼，更不得去，常住是国。”
the stupid minister went to his man soon afterwards and took his eyes. he then went back to the king and said, "i have gouged out his eyes so he couldn't go away but stay in this country forever."
王语臣言：“所以贪得仙人住者，能见地中一切伏藏。汝今毁眼，何所复任？”
