In the winter of the dingwei year (1127), when I was at Tiger Hill, I saw these three kinds of monks with my own eyes and could not help bursting into laughter, realizing that the words of the predecessors were not empty.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.107](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998b.1.107) - [Next: 1.109](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998b.1.109) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998b.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998b~en-mt.1.108) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998b.1.108](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998b.1.108) · Pramāṇa
