Mañjuśrī asked, 'From where has the Venerable come?' He said, 'From the south.' \[Mañjuśrī\] asked, 'How is the Buddha Dharma maintained in the south?' He said, 'The bhikṣus of the final age rarely observe the precepts.' \[Mañjuśrī\] asked, 'How large is the assembly?' He said, 'Perhaps three hundred or five hundred.' Wuzhuo then asked, 'How does the Upādhyāya maintain it here?' \[Mañjuśrī\] said, 'Ordinary beings and sages dwell together; dragons and snakes are intermingled.' \[Wuzhuo\] asked, 'How large is the assembly?' \[Mañjuśrī\] said, 'The front three-three, the back three-three.'" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.6.21) - [Next: 6.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.6.23) - [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.6.22) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.6.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.6.22) · Pramāṇa
