3.52

He asked a monk, "What sūtra are you reading?"
That monk pointed instead to a monk beside him, saying, "The Upādhyāya is asking—why do you not answer?"
The Master said, "Why has the exposed pillar retreated three thousand leagues?"
The monk said, "How does that concern anyone else?"
The Master said, "A fellow who merely mimics words!"
Answering on their behalf, [the Master] said, "Almost failed to recognize the situation."
Also, answering on their behalf, [the Master] said, "Take care!" and immediately went out.
He also said, "More than one have hit the mark."
