1.34

舉：「外道問佛：『不問有言，不問無言。』世尊據坐，外道禮拜云：『世尊大慈大悲，開我迷雲，令我得入。』外道去後，阿難問佛：『外道有何所證，而言得入？』佛云：『如世良馬見鞭影而行。』」師拈云：「邪正不分，過猶鞭影。」

He brought up: "A non-Buddhist asked the Buddha: 'I ask neither with words nor without words.' The World-Honoured One sat firmly. The non-Buddhist bowed and said: 'The World-Honoured One, with great loving-kindness and great compassion, has parted my clouds of delusion and enabled me to enter.' After the non-Buddhist left, Ānanda asked the Buddha: 'What did the non-Buddhist realize that he spoke of having entered?' The Buddha said: 'Like a fine horse in the world, running upon seeing the shadow of the whip.'" The Master commented: "Failing to distinguish between heterodox and orthodox—the fault exceeds the shadow of the whip."
