3.87
A monk was taking leave of the Master. The Master said, "Where are you going?"
The monk said, "I am going to Hunan."
The Master said, "The ferry stations ahead are hard to pass."
The monk said, "I have official travel permits on me."
The Master said, "This is just reciting the primer."
There was no reply.
Answering on their behalf, he said, "A tiny village town is not worth mentioning."
He also said, "The Upādhyāya is too extreme!"
In place of the earlier words, he said, "Just say 'Take care' and go out."
