A monk asked, "Is not a śramaṇa a person endowed with great compassion?" The Master said, "Yes." The monk said, "When suddenly encountering the six thieves coming, how is it?" The Master said, "One must also be endowed with great compassion." The monk said, "How is one endowed with great compassion?" The Master said, "Wipe them out completely with a single sword." The monk said, "After they are wiped out, how is it?" The Master said, "Only then does one attain harmony and unity."
