明覺禪師語錄 2.23

2.23

When the master was the head monk at Jingde in Chizhou, the prefect, Academician Zeng, entered the monastery to visit. Over tea and fruit, the academician picked up a jujube and threw it onto the ground, calling out, "Head monk!" The master responded. The academician said, "An ancient said: 'Without leaving where it is, it is ever tranquil.' Where is it?" The master pointed to the elder of Jingde and said, "Even this old fellow does not know where it fell." The academician said, "The head monk knows, but you cannot be without fault." The master said, "It is hard to deceive a person with clear eyes."
