A monk asked, "Within the gate of expedient means, I ask the master to give instruction." The Master said, "The Buddha does not deprive sentient beings of their vows." \[The monk\] said, "If so, then thank you, Master, for the expedient means." The Master said, "You must still take a blow of the stick." Ascending the hall, he said, "The spread tongues seethe with a thousand calls and ten thousand summonses. Why does the exposed pillar not turn its head?" After a long silence, he said, "Delicious food is not fit for a sated person to eat." Then he stepped down from the seat. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.2.8) - [Next: 2.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.2.10) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077~en-mt.2.9) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.2.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.2.9) · Pramāṇa
