It is not that I do not wash them, but that I have none to change into.'" Taking it up, \[the Master\] said: "Cloth-Breeches Hao, long poor and suddenly wealthy, opened up a world within the eye of a midge, came out to the crossroads, and shouted loudly: 'The land is vast and people are few; those who meet are scarce.' If you understand, accept it with a smile; otherwise, tomorrow night I will ask the head monk to appraise it for you all." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 9.90](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.9.90) - [Next: 9.92](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.9.92) - [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.9.91) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.9.91](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.9.91) · Pramāṇa
