The guest follows the host's discretion—how would I dare not comply with the strict command? I will briefly supply a footnote for all of you. Longguang sat squarely; although without words, his voice was like thunder. Linji said, 'This old fellow suffers defeat today.' The Abbot Dharma Uncle Chan Master said, 'Where was his defeat?' Miaoxi says: 'The road is long, the night is deep; do not hold a torch. Let everyone blow it out and walk in the dark.'" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.5.11) - [Next: 5.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.5.13) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a~en-mt.5.12) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.5.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.5.12) · Pramāṇa
