3.39

舉:「鏡清問僧:『趙州喫茶去,爾作麼生會?』僧便出去,清云:『邯鄲學步。』」師云:「者僧不是邯鄲人,為什麼學唐步?若辯得出,與爾茶喫。」

He cited: "Jingqing asked a monk, 'Zhaozhou said, "Go drink tea"—how do you understand it?' The monk immediately walked out. Qing said, 'Learning to walk like someone in Handan.'" The Master said, "This monk was not a person of Handan; why did he learn the gait of Tang? If you can discern this, I will give you tea to drink."
