(Blocking the street, chasing a clod.) Zhou said, 'Yes.' (Nor has it ever been increased.) The monk said, 'Since it has it, why does it crash into this skin bag?' (Pleading guilty on the first count, he personally signs his own confession.) Zhou said, 'Because he knowingly and deliberately transgresses.' (For now, do not acknowledge it; it is not speaking of you.) Another monk asked, 'Does a dog also have buddha-nature or not?' (Born of the same mother.) Zhou said, 'No.' (Nor has it ever been decreased.) The monk said, 'All sentient beings have buddha-nature; why does a dog not have it?' (A stupid dog chasing a kite.) Zhou said, 'Because it still has karmic consciousness.' (The above is detailed as before; the case is concluded based on the confession.) > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2004.2.11) - [Next: 2.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2004.2.13) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2004.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2004~en-mt.2.12) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [宏智禪師廣錄](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.2.40) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2004.2.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2004.2.12) · Pramāṇa
