12.82

這箇村和尚,少人能近傍,黑漆麁竹篦,佛來也一棒。沒秋毫人情,有萬千無狀,慈悲時觀音菩薩之所不如,瞋恚時阿脩羅王亦難比況。世上可憎可惡者,是這般底阿師,如何
也有人畫渠供食。

This rustic monk—few people can get near him. With his coarse bamboo comb of black lacquer, even if a buddha comes, he strikes a blow. Not an autumn hair of human sentiment does he have, but tens of thousands of insolent ways. When compassionate, Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva cannot match him; when wrathful, an asura king can hardly be compared to him. An obnoxious and hateful person in the world is an ācārya such as this; why would anyone paint him and make offerings of food?
