What do these mean?" The Master said: "Competing in poverty, not competing in wealth." The monk said: "Is there any superiority or inferiority?" The Master said: "If superior, equally superior; if inferior, equally inferior." The monk said: "As for Jingshan, fruit is expensive this winter; what will you share the winter with everyone with?" The Master said: "Iron sour buns." The monk said: "If so, then you surpass Beichan and Dongshan by far." The Master said: "Shut your dog mouth." The monk said: "Does this student have a share of tomorrow night's fruit or not?" The Master said: "Only you have no share." The monk said: "Thank you, Upādhyāya, for the fruit." The Master said: "A domestic thief is hard to defend against." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 9.88](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.9.88) - [Next: 9.90](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.9.90) - [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.9.89) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.9.89](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.9.89) · Pramāṇa
