1.31

An official visited the Master. The Master asked: "What post does your lordship occupy?" He said: "Judge." The Master held up his fly-whisk and said: "Can you judge this?" The official had no reply. The Master told the assembly to provide a phrase, but none tallied. At that time Sansheng was indisposed and recuperating in the Nirvāṇa Hall. The Master sent an attendant to ask him to provide a phrase. Sansheng said: "Just say that the Upādhyāya has business today." The Master sent the attendant again to ask: "I wonder, what business is there?" Sansheng said: "A second offense is not permitted."
