Muzhou said, 'Yesterday I planted eggplants; this morning I sowed winter melons.'" The Master said, "Viewed from the highest place, it is not enough; leveled from the lowest place, it is more than sufficient. Tomorrow in the hall, everyone is free to bite through the eggplants horizontally or vertically; but is there anyone who can say a phrase about the winter melon? If you can say a phrase, monks and laypeople, sentient and insentient, will all be thoroughly sated. If you cannot say it, pay me back the rice money!" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.3.1) - [Next: 3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.3.3) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a~en-mt.3.2) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.3.2) · Pramāṇa
