Deshan said: 'Being so insolent, you deserve a strike from this mountain monk's staff.' The monk flicked his sleeves and left. Deshan said: 'Even granting you this, you only have half of it.' The monk turned around and gave a shout. Deshan struck him, saying: 'Only if I strike you can it be right.' The monk said: 'In all directions there are people with clear eyes.' Deshan said: 'Naturally there are eyes.' The monk pulled his eyes wide open and said: 'Meow!' and then walked out. Deshan said: 'The Yellow River clears once every three thousand years.'" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.168](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.6.168) - [Next: 6.170](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.6.170) - [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.6.169) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.6.169](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.6.169) · Pramāṇa
