The master said: "A man from the Western Heavens does not understand Tang speech." The monk said: "Yesterday it rained, today it is clear; everyone can say this. Please, Venerable, utter an extraordinary phrase." The master sat pressing his knees with both hands. The monk said: "With all your might you spoke, but you only spoke half of it." The master said: "Divide your body and look in both places." The monk pointed at the attendant and said: "Why does the Venerable not wear shoes?" The master said: "This lacquer bucket!" The monk then bowed and returned to the assembly. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1994b.1.7) - [Next: 1.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1994b.1.9) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1994b.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1994b~en-mt.1.8) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1994b.1.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1994b.1.8) · Pramāṇa
