Guan said: 'Who?' Xuefeng said: 'A young phoenix.' Guan said: 'What for?' Xuefeng said: 'To eat old Guan.' Guan opened the door, seized him, and said: 'Speak! Speak!' Xuefeng hesitated, and Guan pushed him out. After Xuefeng became an abbot, he said: 'Had I been able to enter old Guan's gate back then, where would you bunch of fellows who swill wine dregs grope around?'" The master said: "Xuefeng hesitated, and old Guan pushed him out; if one weighs their ounces and grains, there are certainly differences in weight. I wonder what phrase Xuefeng should have uttered at that time to have entered old Guan's gate?" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.101](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.2.101) - [Next: 2.103](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.2.103) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000~en-mt.2.102) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.2.102](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.2.102) · Pramāṇa
