1.52

A monk asked, "Possessing what understanding is one able to cross-examine people in front of the assembly?" The Master said, "Not presenting phrases." The monk said, "What is cross-examined?" The Master said, "Axes and cleavers cannot enter." The monk said, "When one cross-examines like this, is there still someone who does not approve?" The Master said, "There is." The monk said, "Who is this person?" The Master said, "Caoshan."
