You patch-robed monks, facing mountains in the morning and waters in the evening, with eyes filled and ears stuffed, what marvelous mystery of the Buddha-Dharma are you looking for? Otherwise, morning thatch and evening thatch, joy and anger depend on you." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 9.85](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.9.85) - [Next: 9.87](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.9.87) - [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.9.86) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.9.86](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.9.86) · Pramāṇa
