6.4

舉：「世尊因外道問：『昨日說何法？』云：『說定法。』又問：『今日說何法？』云：『說不定法。』外道云：『昨日說定，今日何說不定？』世尊云：『昨日定，今日不定。』」

[He] brought up: "Because a non-Buddhist asked, 'What Dharma did you speak yesterday?' the World-Honoured One said, 'I spoke the determinate Dharma.' He asked again, 'What Dharma do you speak today?' He said, 'I speak the indeterminate Dharma.' The non-Buddhist said, 'Yesterday you spoke determinate; why today do you speak indeterminate?' The World-Honoured One said, 'Yesterday was determinate; today is indeterminate.'"
