Zhaozhou said: 'Have you eaten your porridge yet?' The monk said: 'I have eaten my porridge.' Zhaozhou said: 'Go wash your bowl.' The monk had an awakening at these words." > The Master said: "Across the various quarters there has been much taking up and handling \[of this case\], and no few footnotes have been added to it, yet not a single person has ever clearly broken it open. Today Miaoxi will clearly break it open for you all: once you have eaten your porridge, then wash your bowl! Tell me: was there ever an instruction or not? Black beans have always been good for making paste; a bhikṣuṇī is definitely a nun!" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.6.7) - [Next: 6.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.6.9) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.6) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a~en-mt.6.8) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.6.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.6.8) · Pramāṇa
