4.23

Ascending the hall, the Master brought up: "A monk asked Bajiao: 'Not falling into various conditions, please point it out directly, Master.' Bajiao said: 'There is a question, there is an answer.'" The Master said: "Although Bajiao was skillful in handling matters on the sword's blade, if you inspect it closely, it is very much like fleeing from one's shadow in the midday sun, failing this monk. If today someone asked Jingshan: 'Not falling into various conditions, please point it out directly, Master,' I would only say to him: 'Although an orangutan can speak, in the end it is a beast.'"
