(One cannot fail to ask. There is also this news.) / Wuzhuo said, 'The South.' (Poking his head out of a clump of grass. Why carry it on your eyebrows? The Great Square has no exterior; why then is there a South?) / Mañjuśrī said, 'How is the Buddha Dharma maintained in the South?' (If he asked someone else, disaster would arise. Still hanging on the lips and teeth.) / Wuzhuo said, 'Monks of the saddharma-vipralopa mostly observe the precepts and Vinaya but little.' (A truthful person is hard to find.) / Mañjuśrī said, 'How large are the assemblies?' (At that moment I would have given him a shout. Pressed down with a single squeeze.) / Wuzhuo said, 'Sometimes three hundred, sometimes five hundred.' (All are wild fox spirits. Indeed, a leakage!) / Wuzhuo asked Mañjuśrī, 'How is it maintained here?' (Being pressed, he turns his spearhead around.) / Mañjuśrī said, 'Ordinary and sacred dwell together; dragons and snakes are mixed.' (Many flaws and lapses. Truly makes hands and feet flustered.) / Wuzhuo said, 'How large is the assembly?' (Give me back the topic. He too cannot let it pass.) / Mañjuśrī said, 'The front three-three and the back three-three.' (Topsy-turvy words. Tell me, how many is that? Even the Great Compassionate One with a Thousand Hands cannot count them.) > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003.4.21) - [Next: 4.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003.4.23) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003~en-mt.4.22) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003.4.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003.4.22) · Pramāṇa
