There is yet another difficulty: what kind of person is it?” After a long pause, he said: “Hah!” He then descended from the seat. At that time Zhen Dianxiong was serving as the head monk. The director of the canon asked: “Just now the Master spoke of the fifth kind of difficulty—what kind of person is it?” The head monk said: “Seeing his cheeks from behind his skull, do not associate with him.” > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.174](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1993.1.174) - [Next: 1.176](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1993.1.176) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1993.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1993~en-mt.1.175) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [密菴和尚語錄](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1999.1.162) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1993.1.175](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1993.1.175) · Pramāṇa
