黃龍慧南禪師語錄 1.154

1.154

示眾云：「有利無利，不離行市，鎮州蘿蔔頭即且置，廬陵米價作麼生？若善其價，可謂終日喫飯，未曾咬破一粒米；苟若不知，他時後日有人索上座飯錢在。莫言不道。」

He instructed the assembly, saying: "Whether there is profit or no profit, one does not leave the marketplace. Let the Zhenzhou radish head be set aside for a moment—what about the price of rice in Luling? If you are skilled in its price, it can be said that eating rice all day long, you have never bitten through a single grain of rice. If you do not know, then on a future day someone will demand the meal payment from you, Elder. Do not say you were not told."
