2.7

溈山一日喚院主,院主來,山曰:「我喚院主,汝來作什麼?」院主無對。師代曰:「也知和尚不喚某甲。」又令侍者喚第一座,第一座來,山曰:「我喚第一座,汝來作什麼?」師代曰:「若令侍者喚,恐不來。」

One day Guishan called the monastery director. The monastery director came. Guishan said: 'I called the monastery director; what did you come for?' The monastery director had no reply. The Master spoke in his place: 'I also know the Venerable was not calling me.' Again [Guishan] ordered the attendant to call the head monk. The head monk came. Guishan said: 'I called the head monk; what did you come for?' The Master spoke in his place: 'If you had the attendant call, I was afraid he would not come.'
