Mañjuśrī said, "Virtuous One, you still have attachment in mind." > "I have no attachment." > He said, "Have you ever received the precepts?" > He said, "I received the precepts long ago." > He said, "Since you have no attachment, what use is receiving precepts?" > Wuzhuo had no reply. > A youth escorted him out. When they reached the gate, Wuzhuo asked, "Just now the Great Sage said, 'Three three in front, three three behind.' How many is that?" > The youth called out, "Virtuous One!" > Wuzhuo turned his head. The youth said, "How many is that?" > He also asked, "What is the name of this monastery on the plaque?" > The youth pointed behind a vajra-warrior. Wuzhuo turned his head, and the conjured monastery disappeared. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.73](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.2.73) - [Next: 2.75](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.2.75) - [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.2.74) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.2.74](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.2.74) · Pramāṇa
