Upādhyāya Xinghua instructed the assembly, saying: "If you are a master warrior, please enter directly with a single blade, and speak no more of 'how' or 'what'." The Master came forward, made three prostrations, stood up, and shouted. Xinghua also shouted. The Master shouted again. Xinghua also shouted. The Master then bowed and returned to the assembly. Xinghua said, "Tonight Minde has spared Xinghua twenty blows of the staff. Even though it is so, it is because he, Minde, understands; yet Minde's \[action\] was not just a shout." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 12.77](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2076.12.77) - [Next: 12.79](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2076.12.79) - [Up: 12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2076.12) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2076~en-mt.12.78) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2076.12.78](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2076.12.78) · Pramāṇa
