### [1.81](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1990.1.81)

有一行者隨法師入佛殿，行者向佛而唾。法師云：「行者少去就，何以唾佛？」行者云：「將無佛處來與某甲唾。」法師無對。溈山云：「仁者却不仁者，不仁者却仁者。」師代法師云：「但唾行者。」又云：「行者若有語，即向伊道：『還我無行者處來。』」

> There was a postulant who followed a Dharma master into the Buddha hall. The postulant spat toward the Buddha. The Dharma master said, "Postulant, you have little propriety; why spit at the Buddha?" The postulant said, "Bring me a place where there is no Buddha for me to spit." The Dharma master had no reply. Guishan said, "The benevolent one turns out not to be benevolent; the non-benevolent one turns out to be benevolent." The Master provided a substitute word for the Dharma master, saying, "Just spit on the postulant." He also said, "If the postulant has something to say, then say to him: 'Return to me a place where there is no postulant.'"
