1.30

When elders of various monasteries entered the mountain, the Master ascended the hall and said: "Linji shouting as soon as someone enters the gate—what kind of bowl-ringing sound is that? Deshan beating with the staff as soon as someone enters the gate—bending the crooked to make it straight. Yunmen's three phrases, Caodong's five ranks—dreaming with eyes wide open! Why is it like this? When the country is pure, talented men are prized; when the family is wealthy, small children are spoiled."
