If you can speak, it will be saved; if you cannot speak, it will be cut in two." The assembly had no response. Nanquan then cut it in two. In the evening, Zhaozhou returned from outside; Nanquan related this to him. Zhaozhou then took off his straw sandals, placed them on his head, and went out. Nanquan said: "Had you been here, you would have saved the cat." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.93](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2005.1.93) - [Next: 1.95](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2005.1.95) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2005.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2005~en-mt.1.94) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2005.1.94](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2005.1.94) · Pramāṇa
