1.11

金峯志至，師問曰：「作甚麼來？」志曰：「蓋屋來。」師曰：「了也未？」志云：「這邊則了。」師曰：「那邊事作麼生？」志云：「候下工日向和尚。」師曰：「如是如是。」

Zhi of Jinfeng arrived. The Master asked, 'What have you come to do?' Zhi said, 'I have come to build a house.' The Master said, 'Is it finished?' Zhi said, 'On this side, it is finished.' The Master said, 'What about the matter on that side?' Zhi said, 'Wait until the day the work ends, and I will speak to the master.' The Master said, 'So it is, so it is.'
