A monk asked, "I had long looked up to Guizong, but arriving here, you are merely a coarse-behaving śramaṇa." > Zong said, "Are you coarse, or am I coarse?" > Later, Xuefeng asked Deshan, "What was the ancient's intention in cutting the snake?" > Deshan struck him immediately. Xuefeng ran off. Deshan called out, saying, "Patch-robed monk! Patch-robed monk!" > Xuefeng turned his head. Deshan said, "When you awaken in the future, only then will you know this old fellow's thorough grandmotherly heart." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.156](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.2.156) - [Next: 2.158](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.2.158) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992~en-mt.2.157) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.2.157](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.2.157) · Pramāṇa
