Tell me, which calculation is Zhaozhou's calabash hanging on the eastern wall in? If you understand, things are of the same family; if not, you will mostly head toward the green-grass shores of Dongting, where under the vast skies of Chu you will not know how to return." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 9.65](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.9.65) - [Next: 9.67](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.9.67) - [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.9.66) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [法演禪師語錄](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1995.3.182) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.9.66](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.9.66) · Pramāṇa
