Nanquan asked the assembly: 'Tomorrow we offer a feast for Mazu; I wonder if Mazu will come or not?' The assembly had no answer. The Master then stepped forward and replied: 'As soon as he has a companion, he will come.' Nanquan said: 'Though this lad is young, he is very worthy of being carved and polished.' The Master said: 'Upādhyāya, do not debase the fine into the base.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1986a.1.5) - [Next: 1.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1986a.1.7) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1986a.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1986a~en-mt.1.6) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1986a.1.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1986a.1.6) · Pramāṇa
