1.60

師謂小兒子云:「因子識得爾爺,爾爺名甚麼?」兒無對。(法燈代云:「但將衣袖掩面。」)師却問僧:「若是孝順之子,合下得一轉語。且道,合下得甚麼語?」僧無對,師代云:「他是孝順之子。」

The master said to a small boy, "Because of the son, one recognizes your father. What is your father's name?" The boy had no reply. (Fadeng spoke on his behalf: "Just cover your face with your sleeve.") The master then asked a monk, "If he were a filial son, he should provide a turning phrase. Tell me, what phrase should he provide?" The monk had no reply. The master spoke on his behalf: "He is a filial son."
