When feelings have not yet arisen, where does the block come from?" The Master said, "Turns out you are just a rice bag." The monk advanced and said, "I do not understand what the meaning is." The Master said, "Blocked." He then took up his staff and brought up: "Sansheng said: 'Whenever I meet someone, I go out, but when I go out, it is not for people's sake.'" Striking once, \[the Master\] said, "The thief's body is already exposed; he cannot be let off. Xinghua heard this and said: 'Whenever I meet someone, I do not go out, but when I go out, it is for people's sake.'" Striking again, \[the Master\] said, "Having already exposed the thief's body, he cannot be let off. Generally, when ancestral teachers settle right and wrong, they must open people's eyes; they must not just blindly apply flails and blind sticks. Tell me, what fault do these two old fellows have?" Throwing \[the staff\] down, he said, "Dragons and snakes are easy to distinguish, but patch-robed monks are difficult to deceive." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.1.40) - [Next: 1.42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.1.42) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a~en-mt.1.41) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.1.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.1.41) · Pramāṇa
