Dongshan said, 'I am always earnest about this.' The monk later asked Caoshan, 'Dongshan said, "I am always earnest about this"—what was his meaning?' Cao said, 'If you want a head, chop it off and take it.' The monk also asked Xuefeng; Feng struck him right across the mouth with his staff, saying, 'I too once went to Dongshan.' The monk was speechless." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.6.41) - [Next: 6.43](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.6.43) - [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.6.42) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.6.42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.6.42) · Pramāṇa
