What is the meaning of this?" The Master said: "Rotten meat attracts flies." The monk said: "Catching sight of Xuefeng, he immediately called upon the administrative monks. How about that?" The Master said: "Do not bring out the Helou lacquerware." The monk said: "Catching sight of the twin poplar stupa spire of Baolin, he was immediately enlightened." The Master said: "Panning for gold in sand." The monk said: "The upādhyāya is also old in years and lonely in heart." The Master said: "Proclaiming another's fault is not the mark of a skilled hand." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.158](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.2.158) - [Next: 2.160](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.2.160) - [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.2.159) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.2.159](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.2.159) · Pramāṇa
