What is the patch-robed monk's proper business?" The Master said: "In thirty years, I have rarely met with this question." \[The monk\] advanced and said: "If so, then you have failed the sages." The Master said: "I have not even answered your words; why speak of failing?" The monk clapped his hands once. The Master said: "Humph! Letting you off will not do." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1993.1.3) - [Next: 1.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1993.1.5) - [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.1.4) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [續傳燈錄](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.13.6) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1993.1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1993.1.4) · Pramāṇa
