When Shoushan came to inquire, the master said, "If at that time Uncle Shorty had attained a point of release before Guishan had even defecated, it would have saved those who pursue sounds and forms from divining east and divining west. Now that a leak has occurred, throughout a thousand ages, how could it be said there is no one?" Striking the staff, he said, "Stop, stop! When chasing someone, do not overtake them." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.148](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.1.148) - [Next: 1.150](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.1.150) - [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.1.149) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.1.149](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.1.149) · Pramāṇa
