Zhangjing said, 'How long have you been away from here?' > The monk said, 'It has already been eight years.' > Zhangjing said, 'What have you accomplished?' > The monk drew a circle on the ground. > Zhangjing said, 'Is there anything more beyond this?' > The monk stepped forward, wiped out the circle, made a bow, and withdrew." > The master said, "A strict master produces fine disciples; at Erlin, the child's rearing does not equal the father's. I just instruct him to make offerings to the great assembly; there is no need to present views. Why so? For fear that scanty courtesy may invite resentment." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.2.44) - [Next: 2.46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.2.46) - [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.2.45) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.2.45](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.2.45) · Pramāṇa
