It is also like dispelling delusion with wisdom, which is quite common among lesser fellows; dispelling wisdom with wisdom is rarely encountered even among masters of the craft. Do you wish to understand the two injustices? You people also have immeasurable transgressions; Xuedou also has immeasurable transgressions. Xuedou's transgressions he can examine and reprimand himself; as for you lacquer buckets, if I do not strike you, what more time are you waiting for?" With the staff, he drove them down all at once. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.76](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.1.76) - [Next: 1.78](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.1.78) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996~en-mt.1.77) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.1.77](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.1.77) · Pramāṇa
