That old fellow Bajiao could only look forward and not backward; making private use of property belonging to the permanent community, he wore out the straw matting and broke the floral pattern excessively, causing later descendants to sprout joints upon the joints of the staff, disgracing the style of the lineage.

Striking the staff, he said: "Once power is in one's hands, observe when the decree is carried out." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.126](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1999.1.126) - [Next: 1.128](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1999.1.128) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1999.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1999~en-mt.1.127) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [宏智禪師廣錄](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.3.50) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1999.1.127](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1999.1.127) · Pramāṇa
