The manager reported: 'The assembly has long been yearning for your instruction, Venerable Priest.' Yaoshan said: 'Strike the drum.' Just as the assembly gathered, Yaoshan returned to the abbot's quarters. The manager said: 'You promised to preach the Dharma for the assembly, Venerable Priest; why did you not set forth a single word?' Yaoshan said: 'For sūtras there are sūtra masters; for treatises there are treatise masters. How can you blame this old monk?'" The Master said: "Although he obstructed others with himself, what can be done about the thief's body already being exposed? Do you people wish to know Yaoshan? Idly holding a scroll of scripture, leaning against the pine he stands, / Smiling, he asks the guest where he has come from." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1995.1.19) - [Next: 1.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1995.1.21) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1995.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1995~en-mt.1.20) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [虛堂和尚語錄](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.1.71) — Classical Chinese - [密菴和尚語錄](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1999.1.49) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1995.1.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1995.1.20) · Pramāṇa
