Today it exists, tomorrow it will be no more. Look upon it and be satisfied; do not allow regret later.'" The Master said: "If this mountain monk had been in the assembly at that time, I would only have said in a low voice: 'World-Honoured One! Take your winnowing basket and pound \[grain\] elsewhere.' If one could make this turning word, it would have saved today's fuss." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.62](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.8.62) - [Next: 8.64](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.8.64) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000~en-mt.8.63) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [續傳燈錄](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.29.25) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.8.63](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.8.63) · Pramāṇa
