Calamity!" > The monk hesitated, and the Master struck him. > \[A monk\] asked, "Just as when the lay practitioner of the stone chamber treaded the pestle and forgot to move his feet, where did he go?" > The Master said, "Drowned in the deep spring." > The Master then said, "Whenever anyone comes, I do not fail him; I always recognize where he comes from. If he comes like this, it is just as if he were lost; if he does not come like this, he binds himself without a rope. At all times do not deliberate recklessly; whether you understand or do not understand, it is all completely wrong. I speak clearly like this; let everyone in the world criticize and dissect it as they will. You have been standing long. Take care." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1985.1.25) - [Next: 1.27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1985.1.27) - [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.1.26) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1985.1.26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1985.1.26) · Pramāṇa
