Is it that the abbot's authority and orders are not strict? Or is it that the duty-officers' bodies and minds are lazy and remiss? Let the great assembly try to judge. Once the regulations fall into disorder, all matters go awry; if one person errs in a matter, the whole community is uneasy. There are one or two hundred people inside and outside this monastery. Since this crooked seat holds this position, in all matters great and small, he must personally attend to them; he must not make light of affairs nor be disrespectful toward the assembly. If you can be like this, in every matter there is perfect awakening, at every step there is the bodhimaṇḍa. What need is there to chisel outwards or gouge flesh to make a wound?" Striking the Chan seat with his fly-whisk, he descended from the seat. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.58](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1993.1.58) - [Next: 1.60](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1993.1.60) - [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.1.59) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1993.1.59](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1993.1.59) · Pramāṇa
