Zi said, 'Step by step is your place of realization; do you know it?' The monk said, 'I do not know.' Zi said, 'Fortunately you do not know; if you knew, what would I be good for?' The monk then bowed." The Master said, "Changzi let down a fishing line with a short rope, not reaching the deep spring. This monk was exceedingly sly; he deserved a slap across both cheeks. From the standpoint of an adept, Fenglin would scold him." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.116](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.1.116) - [Next: 1.118](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.1.118) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000~en-mt.1.117) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.1.117](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.1.117) · Pramāṇa
