Changqing said, 'A fellow in the grass.' The monk said, 'What about after hanging by its horns?' Changqing said, 'Crying out at random.' The monk said, 'What about ultimately?' Changqing said, 'The matter of the donkey is not yet finished when the matter of the horse arrives.'" The Master said, "Better to smash the body to minute particles of dust than ever to blind a single sentient being's eye. Changqing was somewhat better." He also said, "Such a fellow, even if the ram has not yet hung by its horns, is also like gazing at one's hometown from ten thousand miles away." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.75](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.3.75) - [Next: 3.77](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.3.77) - [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.3.76) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.3.76](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.3.76) · Pramāṇa
