The Master gave a shout. > The monk said, "It would be better if the Venerable Abbot did not test me." > The Master said, "Where do you say it has fallen?" > The monk gave a shout. Another monk asked, "What is the great meaning of the Buddha Dharma?" > The Master gave a shout. The monk bowed. The Master said, "Do you say that was a good shout or not?" > The monk said, "The grass-bandit has suffered a great defeat." > The Master said, "Where was the fault?" > The monk said, "A second offense is not permitted." > The Master gave a shout. > On that day, the head monks of the two halls met each other and shouted simultaneously. A monk asked the Master, "Was there a guest and host, or not?" > The Master said, "Guest and host were distinct." > The Master said, "Assembly, if you wish to understand Linji's phrases of guest and host, ask the two head monks in the halls." He then stepped down from the seat. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1985.1.23) - [Next: 1.25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1985.1.25) - [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.1.24) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1985.1.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1985.1.24) · Pramāṇa
