He said: 'I dare not \[presume\].' Baoshou said: 'Can you mend empty space with a rivet?' He said: 'Please smash it, upādhyāya, and bring it here.' Baoshou struck him. Hu said: 'Do not strike me by mistake.' Baoshou said: 'Later, when you meet a talkative monk, he will point it out for you.' Later, arriving at Zhaozhou, he brought up the preceding conversation and asked: 'I do not know where my fault was.' Zhaozhou said: 'Just this single seam, yet you still can do nothing with it.' Hu the tinker had an awakening at this." The Master said: "Xuedou wants to hit these three fellows: first, Zhaozhou, who ought not to have blinded Hu the tinker's eyes; second, Baoshou, who could not shut Zhaozhou's mouth; third, Hu the tinker, who let Baoshou off." The Master suddenly picked up his staff and said: "There is yet another one! The great assembly runs away all at once!" The Master struck the corded seat once and then got up and left. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.90](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.2.90) - [Next: 2.92](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.2.92) - [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.2.91) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.2.91](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.2.91) · Pramāṇa
