The Sage said: "The surname is He." The official said: "In what country do you dwell?" The Sage said: "I dwell in the country of He." What does this mean?' Wulong said: 'The Great Sage originally did not have the surname He, nor was he a person of the country of He; he merely transformed and delivered beings in accord with conditions.' Feng laughed and said: 'The Great Sage definitely had the surname He and dwelt in the country of He.' Thus they went back and forth several times, and finally sent a letter to the Master, begging him to judge this kōan. The Master said: 'There are sixty blows: take thirty blows and strike the Great Sage for improperly saying his surname was He; take thirty blows and strike Jichuan for improperly saying the Great Sage definitely had the surname He. As for Elder Wulong, let him lead himself out.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.74](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998b.1.74) - [Next: 1.76](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998b.1.76) - [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.1.75) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998b.1.75](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998b.1.75) · Pramāṇa
