Chasing a deer, he passed in front of Great Master Ma's hermitage and asked: 'Have you seen my deer?' The Great Master said: 'Who are you?' Shigong said: 'I am a hunter.' Ma said: 'Do you know how to shoot?' He said: 'I know how to shoot.' Ma said: 'How many do you shoot with one arrow?' He said: 'With one arrow I shoot one.' Ma said: 'You do not know how to shoot.' Shigong said: 'Upādhyāya, do you know how to shoot?' He said: 'I know how to shoot.' Shigong said: 'How many does the upādhyāya shoot with one arrow?' Ma said: 'With one arrow I shoot a whole herd.' Shigong said: 'Both are living beings; why shoot them?' Ma said: 'Since you are like this, why do you not shoot yourself?' Shigong said: 'If you have me shoot myself, there is simply no place to apply hands.' Ma said: 'This fellow's ignorance and afflictions have suddenly ceased!' Shigong thereupon cut off his hair with a knife and attended upon him at the hermitage." The Master said: "Great Master Ma shot a whole herd with one arrow—shooting at random, what use is that? It is not as good as Shigong shooting one with one arrow, who was rather a master hand. Today Xuedou emulates the conduct of the ancients and intends to loose an arrow." Calling out with a loud shout, he said: "Watch the arrow!" Again he said: "A hit!" Then he stepped down from his seat. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.87](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.2.87) - [Next: 2.89](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.2.89) - [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.2.88) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.2.88](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.2.88) · Pramāṇa
