The monk said: 'Gushan.' \[Changqing\] said: 'Gushan has the phrase: "Not striding across the stone gate." If someone were to ask you about it, what would you say?' \[The monk\] said: 'Last night I lodged at Baoci.' Changqing said: 'If I struck you across the back with a staff, what would you do then?' The monk said: 'If the upādhyāya exercises this staff, he does not in vain accept the offerings of gods and humans.' Changqing said: 'I almost let you off.'" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.158](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.6.158) - [Next: 6.160](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.6.160) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.6) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000~en-mt.6.159) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.6.159](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.6.159) · Pramāṇa
