16.39

[The Master] cited: "Śāriputra asked Subhūti: 'Is expounding the six pāramitās in a dream the same as or different from when awake?'" The Master commented: "Quiet, quiet!" "Subhūti said: 'This meaning is profound; I cannot speak of it.'" The Master commented: "In soft mud there are thorns." "'In the assembly is the Great Being Maitreya; you may go ask him.'" The Master commented: "Pushing it onto someone else—how can that be acceptable?" "Śāriputra then asked Maitreya." The Master commented: "Making the best of a mistake." "Maitreya said: 'Who is Maitreya? Who is the one who is Maitreya?'" The Master commented: "The skin on his face is three inches thick!"
