The monk said: 'I am going to various quarters to study five-flavoured Chan.' Guizong said: 'Here I have one-flavoured Chan; why do you not study it?' The monk said: 'What is the upādhyāya's one-flavoured Chan?' Guizong then struck him. The monk said: 'I understand! I understand!' Guizong said: 'Speak and let me see.' The monk was about to open his mouth when Guizong struck him again. Although that is indeed a matter on the sword's blade, in the final analysis, exhausting the law leaves no citizens. Jingshan enforces only half of the order, bending accommodatingly for the present day. If you were to carry it out fully according to that, then not only would the grass before the Dharma hall grow ten feet deep, but I fear there would be no one to tend Tianze Hermitage." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 9.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.9.31) - [Next: 9.33](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.9.33) - [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.9.32) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.9.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.9.32) · Pramāṇa
