1.45

The Master called upon Upādhyāya Guti. Guti said, "Go away! You have no buddhadhātu!"
The Master folded his hands, stepped forward three paces, and answered, "Yes?"
Guti smiled and said, "Son! Where did you attain this samādhi?"
The Master said, "From Danyuan I obtained the name, and from Guishan I obtained the ground."
Guti said, "Might you not be a true son of Guishan?"
The Master said, "In terms of conventional truth, it is not absent; but in terms of the Buddhadharma, I would not dare [claim it]."
The Master then asked, "Where did the Upādhyāya attain this samādhi?"
Guti said, "I attained this samādhi from Zhangjing."
The Master sighed and said, "Inconceivable! Those who come find it hard to approach."
