Deshan stretched out his neck, came forward, and said, "Ha!" Longya said, "The head has fallen." Deshan laughed heartily. Later, Longya arrived at Dongshan and brought up the previous dialogue. The Master said, "What did Deshan say?" Longya said, "Deshan had no words." The Master said, "Do not say he had no words; just bring forth Deshan's fallen head and show it to this old monk." Only then did Longya realize, and he repented with thanks. (Later someone brought this up to Deshan. Deshan said, "Dongshan does not recognize good and bad; how long has this fellow been dead, and what is the use of saving him?" Baofu Zhan commented, "Longya only knew how to advance, not knowing he had lost his footing." Cuiyan Zhi said, "When Longya should have cut it off, he did not; now, how will he cut it off?" Dongchan Guan said, "Longya embraced the sword and wounded himself, bringing blame upon himself. Deshan took mastery of his own head, a fine strategy; but suddenly, exposed by Dongshan, his tail was unwittingly revealed.") > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1986b.1.50) - [Next: 1.52](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1986b.1.52) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1986b.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1986b~en-mt.1.51) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1986b.1.51](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1986b.1.51) · Pramāṇa
