舉:「五通仙人問佛云:『佛有六通,我有五通,如何是那一通?』佛召五通仙人,仙人應喏,佛云:『那一通爾問我。』」師云:「老胡元不知有那一通,却因邪打正。」

He brought up: "A master of five superknowledges asked the Buddha: 'The Buddha has six superknowledges; I have five superknowledges. What is that one superknowledge?' The Buddha called to the master of five superknowledges, and he answered. The Buddha said: 'That one superknowledge—you ask me.'" The Master said: "The old barbarian originally did not know there was that one superknowledge, yet he struck the straight through the crooked."
