1.19

A monk asked, "Is not a śramaṇa a person endowed with great compassion?" The Master said, "He is." The monk said, "What happens when the six thieves suddenly arrive?" The Master said, "He must also be endowed with great compassion." The monk said, "How is he endowed with great compassion?" The Master said, "With a single sword, he sweeps them completely away." The monk said, "What happens after they are swept away?" The Master said, "Only then is harmony attained."
