The monk said: 'I have returned from wandering the mountains.' Dongshan said: 'Did you reach the summit?' The monk said: 'I reached it.' Dongshan said: 'Was there anyone on the summit?' The monk said: 'There was no one.' Dongshan said: 'You did not reach the summit.' \[The monk\] said: 'If I did not reach it, how could I know there was no one?' Dongshan said: 'Ācārya, why do you not stay a while?' The monk said: 'As for me, I would not decline to stay, but someone in the Western Heaven would not permit it.'" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.192](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.6.192) - [Next: 6.194](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.6.194) - [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.6.193) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.6.193](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.6.193) · Pramāṇa
