The master said, "It can only please oneself, not fit to present to you." The monk said, "If so, then not leaving where one is, it is constantly serene; if sought, know that it cannot be seen." The master said, "A hungry dog gnaws a dry skull." The monk asked, "Just as taking Great Perfect Enlightenment as my saṃghārāma, and the body and mind abiding peacefully in samatājñāna—with the mind like an artisan and the thought like an accompanying performer, how can the body and mind abide peacefully?" The master said, "Seeing people, it only knows how to laugh; playing with things, it does not know their names." The monk said, "This summer, I will faithfully accept and uphold it." The master said, "Iron mouth and nail tongue incur people's dislike." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 9.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.9.5) - [Next: 9.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.9.7) - [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.9.6) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.9.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.9.6) · Pramāṇa
