2.6

上堂，舉：「無著往臺山禮文殊，殊問：『大德從何方而來？』著云：『南方。』殊云：『南方佛法如何住持？』著云：『末法比丘少奉戒律。』殊云：『多少眾？』著云：『或三百或五百。』無著却問：『和尚此間佛法如何住持？』殊云：『凡聖同居，龍蛇混雜。』著云：『多少眾？』殊云：『前三三，後三三。』」師云：「徑山當時若見，即向他道：『和尚如此住持，極是不易。』」

Ascending the hall, [the Master] brought up: "Wuzhuo went to Mount Tai to pay homage to Mañjuśrī. Mañjuśrī asked, 'From where has the Venerable come?' Wuzhuo said, 'From the south.' Mañjuśrī said, 'How is the Buddha Dharma maintained in the south?' Wuzhuo said, 'In the age of the Degenerate Dharma, monks rarely uphold the monastic precepts.' Mañjuśrī said, 'How large is the assembly?' Wuzhuo said, 'Sometimes three hundred, sometimes five hundred.' Wuzhuo then asked, 'How is the Buddha Dharma maintained here, Venerable?' Mañjuśrī said, 'Commoners and sages dwell together; dragons and snakes intermingle.' Wuzhuo said, 'How large is the assembly?' Mañjuśrī said, 'Three-three in front, three-three in back.'" The Master said, "If Jingshan had seen him at that time, I would have said to him: 'Venerable, maintaining it in such a way is exceedingly difficult.'"
