I want a statement that possesses both senses of gain and loss.' The monk raised his fist and said, 'It must not be called a fist.' Anguo said, 'Only because it is called a fist.'" The Master said, "A fellow who binds himself without a rope—he doesn't even recognize a fist." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.52](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.3.52) - [Next: 3.54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.3.54) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996~en-mt.3.53) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.3.53](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.3.53) · Pramāṇa
