2.7

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.'
