(The hook is in a place free from doubt. Washing a clod of dirt in the mud. Where did this news come from?) Zhiman said, "A lotus flower." (One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Causing the whole world to doubt to death.) The monk said, "What about after emerging from the water?" (Do not make a living in a ghost cave. Off he goes again like that.) Man said, "Lotus leaves."

Laughing the whole world to death.) > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003.3.1) - [Next: 3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003.3.3) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003~en-mt.3.2) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003.3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003.3.2) · Pramāṇa
