The monk said, 'I have.' Zhaozhou said, 'Go drink tea.' He also asked \[another\] monk, 'Have you ever been here before?' The monk said, 'I have not.' Zhaozhou said, 'Go drink tea.'" > The Master said: "In one case Zhaozhou hit the mark; in the other he missed the mark. When Wansong sees a monk, he neither offers tea nor asks a question. Why? Ever since the Dharma of the sages and worthies arrived, I have never taken life." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.168](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.1.168) - [Next: 1.170](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.1.170) - [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.1.169) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.1.169](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.1.169) · Pramāṇa
