Those who have not yet verified it, look, look!" > At that time a monk came forward and asked, "What is the true person of no rank?" > The Master stepped down from the meditation seat, seized him, and said, "Speak! Speak!" > The monk hesitated. The Master pushed him away and said, "What dry lump of shit is the true person of no rank?" He then returned to the abbot's quarters. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1985.1.22) - [Next: 1.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1985.1.24) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1985.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1985~en-mt.1.23) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [宏智禪師廣錄](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.2.80) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1985.1.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1985.1.23) · Pramāṇa
