Playing with an object without knowing its name. Buying a hat according to the head.) / The answerer still did not understand. (North and south not divided. Exchanging the skull. South of the river, north of the river.) > Cold moon, high wind; (What is it like? Today is just such a time. People of the world have eyes yet have never seen it; they have ears yet have never heard it.) > An ancient crag, a chilly cypress. (Even better when it is not raining. A holeless flute hits a felt clapper.) / How laughable: encountering a person of the Way on the road, (You must arrive here in person to attain it. Give me back my staff! Coming like this in droves.) > Not greeting them with speech or silence. (At what place do you see Dalong? With what should you greet him?) > Holding a white jade whip in hand, (From one to seven, broken off.) / He smashed every black dragon pearl to pieces. (Leave them for later generations to see. A pity!) > If not smashed to pieces, (Letting a move pass by. Going like that again.) / Flaws and blemishes will multiply. (What are you doing playing with mud balls? Even more sloppy. A crime filling heaven.) > The state has its statutes— (Those who know the law are fearful. Three thousand blows in the morning, eight hundred in the evening.) / Three thousand crimes. (You have only spoken half of it. From eighty-four thousand immeasurable kalpas falling into avīci karma, not even half has been repaid.) > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 9.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003.9.8) - [Next: 9.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003.9.10) - [Up: 9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003.9) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003~en-mt.9.9) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003.9.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003.9.9) · Pramāṇa
