瑞州洞山良价禪師語錄 1.67

1.67

A monk asked, "Wishing to see the Upādhyāya's original teacher, how can he be seen?"
The Master said, "When years and teeth are alike, there will be no hindrance."
The monk intended to say more. The Master said, "Without treading in previous footsteps, please ask another question."
The monk had no reply. (Yunju spoke in his place, saying, "In that case, one does not see the Upādhyāya's original teacher." Later, Sthavira Jiao brought this up and asked Changqing, "What is it when years and teeth are alike?" Changqing said, "The ancient spoke thus; what are you seeking here, Ācārya Jiao?")
