瑞州洞山良价禪師語錄 1.57

Beiyuan Tong arrived for an interview. The Master ascended the hall and said, "Sitting through the master, one does not fall into secondary views." Tong stepped forward from the assembly and said, "One must know that there is one person who does not join companions." The Master said, "That is still a secondary view." Tong immediately overturned the meditation seat. The Master said, "What are you doing, elder brother?" Tong said, "Wait until my tongue rots, and then I will speak to you, Upādhyāya." Later, Tong took leave of the Master, intending to enter the mountains. The Master said, "Be careful of the flying apes; the mountain ridges are steep and must be watched carefully." Tong remained silent for a long time. The Master called, "Ācārya Tong!" Tong answered, "Yes." The Master said, "Why do you not enter the mountains?" Tong had an awakening because of this, and did not enter the mountains.
