Chongning tonight neither cares about answering questions nor cares about not answering questions. By chance, from under my robes, I picked up a thousand-year-old peach stone to present to the great assembly." Then, holding his staff horizontally, he said: "If you all are like this, you will cut off the tongues of everyone under heaven." Again he tapped the staff on the ground and said: "If you all are like this, you will enter hell as swiftly as an arrow shot from a bow. Tell me: where do the benefit and harm lie? If one does not sleep in the same bed, how can one know that the quilt is worn through underneath?" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 9.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.9.10) - [Next: 9.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.9.12) - [Up: 9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.9) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997~en-mt.9.11) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.9.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.9.11) · Pramāṇa
