What is the meaning of this?" The Master said: "The counting device is the basis for calculating people." The monk said: "Changsha said: 'Just as it is a debt, you try using it.' What about this?" The Master said: "An uncarved seal stamped wildly about." The monk said: "Yangshan said: 'How do you use it?' Then he was kicked over by Changsha, got up, and said: 'Uncle, you are just like a tiger.' Was it authentic or not?" The Master said: "He was not yet a quick-tempered fellow." The monk bowed, and the Master said: "Seeking length in short points." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 9.132](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.9.132) - [Next: 9.134](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.9.134) - [Up: 9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.9) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000~en-mt.9.133) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.9.133](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.9.133) · Pramāṇa
