明覺禪師語錄 2.26

2.26

When the master served as canon librarian at Fuyan on Mount Nanyue, Palace Censor Li and Elder Ya entered the canon cloister. The master came out to receive them. The censor said, "Is the canon librarian here?" The master said, "I would not presume so." The censor said, "Does the canon speak of me, an official?" The master said, "It can be verified right before your eyes." The censor said, "How is the verified matter?" The master said, "It does not take a single letter." The censor had no words. The master said, "Please, Censor, return to the quarters." While they were drinking tea and seated, mountain mists suddenly arose. Ya said, "The censor roams the mountain, and is immediately blocked by mist and clouds." The censor said, "At this sacred site of Lingfeng, why is there such a thing?" The master said, "Below, there is none." The censor was about to speak when Ya said, "The canon librarian brings splendor to Fuyan." The master said, "Upādhyāya, do not open your eyes just yet." The censor said, "An adept, an adept!" The master said, "May the censor take care." At that time, a Daoist and a scholar arrived at the cloister and asked, "Among the three teachings, which teaching is the most supreme?" The master got up and stood sideways. The censor said, "You have a mouth; why not speak?" The master said, "Facing the Master, it is difficult to speak." The censor said, "Stop, stop!" and got up. The master said, "Just now I was reckless."
