The monk said: 'I come from Hunan.' Jiashan said: 'Did you ever go to Shishuang?' The monk said: 'Passing through on an essential route, how could I not go?' Jiashan said: 'I have heard that Shishuang has a discourse on the ball; is it so?' The monk said: 'The upādhyāya must also quickly fix his eyes on it.' Jiashan said: 'What is the ball?' The monk said: 'It does not bounce out.' Jiashan said: 'What is the ball-stick?' The monk said: 'It has no hands or feet.' Jiashan said: 'This old monk has never made the ācārya's acquaintance; get out!'" The Master said: "Xuedou personally saw this monk come from Shishuang; why did Jiashan say he did not know him?" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.176](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.2.176) - [Next: 2.178](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.2.178) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996~en-mt.2.177) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.2.177](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.2.177) · Pramāṇa
