In Buddhism
Chinese Buddhism
渴鹿 [ke lu]—The thirsty deer which mistakes a mirage for water, i.e. human illusion.

渴鹿 [ke lu]—Thirsty Deer—[Analogy (譬喻 [pi yu])] A thirsty deer sees shimmering heat (陽炎 [yang yan]) and mistakes it for water, likening it to a deluded (迷妄 [mi wang]) mind. The four-volume Laṅkāvatāra Sūtra (楞伽經 [leng jia jing]), volume two, states: "Just as a herd of deer, pressed by thirst, sees the shimmering heat (焰 [yan]) of spring and conceives it to be water. Deluded and confused, they rush towards it, unaware that it is not water." The Mohe Zhiguan (止觀 [zhi guan]), volume one, states: "Since accumulation (集 [ji]) is inherently empty (空 [kong]), one should not, like that thirsty deer, chase after the shimmering heat (颺燄 [yang yan]). Since suffering (苦 [ku]) is inherently empty, one should not, like that foolish monkey, grasp at the moon in the water." The Fuxing (輔行 [fu xing]) states: "The thirsty deer chasing the shimmering heat is because heat and empty dust, due to three conditions (因緣 [yin yuan]), give rise to the shimmering heat. Due to the condition of thirst, it is called water." The Mohe Zhiguan, volume five, states: "Like a thirsty deer chasing the shimmering heat (炎 [yan]), or a mad dog biting at thunder, how could there be any truth (得理 [de li]) in that?"
渴鹿—【譬喻】渴鹿見陽炎以為水，譬迷妄之心也。四卷楞伽經二曰：「譬如群鹿，為渴所逼。見春時焰，而作水想。迷亂馳趣，不知非水。」止觀一下曰：「集既即空，不應如彼渴鹿，馳逐颺燄。苦既即空，不應如彼痴猴，捉水中月。」輔行曰：「渴鹿逐焰者，熱及空塵三因緣故而生於燄。渴因緣故，謂之為水。」止觀五上曰：「如渴鹿逐炎，狂狗囓雷，何有得理？」
