I also know that you are drawing feet on a snake. There are still others who pass on oral slogans, and others who divine with ladles listening to empty sounds—none have managed to cut it off completely. Changlu has picked it up and cleared it away for you. Only then do you know that Zhimen is a fellow without dogmatism or certainty. Today, Changlu is very much like a Gong County tea kettle." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.173](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.1.173) - [Next: 1.175](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.1.175) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001~en-mt.1.174) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.1.174](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.1.174) · Pramāṇa
