Roshi Martin explores Case 35 from Blue Cliff Record - The Dialogue of Manjusri and WuCho

Manjusri asked Wu Cho, "Where have you just come from?" Wu Cho said, "The South."
Manjusri said, "How is the Buddhist Teaching being carried on in the South?"
Wu Cho said, "Monks of the Last Age have little regard for the rules of discipline."
Manjusri said, "How numerous are the congregations?"5Wu Cho said, "Some three hundred, some five hundred." Wu Cho asked Manjusri, "How is it being carried on here-abouts?"
Manjusri said, "Ordinary people and sages dwell together; dragons and snakes intermingle."
Wu Cho said, "How numerous are the congregations?"9 Manjusri said, "In front, three by three; in back, three by three."
