Yunmen said, "I cannot say." The monk said, "Why can the upādhyāya not say?" Yunmen said, "It is fine for you to bring up the topic." In an alternative \[the Master\] said, "In shallow water there are no fish; dropping a hook is a waste of effort." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.114](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.4.114) - [Next: 4.116](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.4.116) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996~en-mt.4.115) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.4.115](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.4.115) · Pramāṇa
