### [1.49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1987b.1.49)

僧問：「子歸就父，為甚麼父全不顧？」師云：「理合如是。」僧云：「父子之恩何在？」師曰：「始成父子之恩。」僧云：「如何是父子之恩？」師曰：「刀斧斫不開。」

> A monk asked, "When the son returns to the father, why does the father pay him no heed at all?" The Master said, "In principle it must be so." The monk said, "Where is the affection between father and son?" The Master said, "Only then is the affection between father and son accomplished." The monk said, "What is the affection between father and son?" The Master said, "Axes and cleavers cannot chop it apart."
