佛鑒和尚，初受舒州太平請，禮辭五祖。祖曰：「大凡住院，為己戒者有四，第一、勢不可使盡。第二、福不可受盡。第三、規矩不可行盡。第四、好語不可說盡。何故？好語說盡人必易之，規矩行盡人必繁之，福若受盡緣必孤，勢若使盡禍必至。」鑒再拜服膺而退。後鑒辭靈源，源云：「住持當以拄杖包笠懸挂方丈屋壁間，去住如衲子之輕則善矣。」

> When the Reverend Fojian first accepted the invitation to Taiping in Shuzhou, he paid his respects and took leave of Wuzu. Wuzu said: 'In general, when residing in a monastery, there are four precepts for oneself. First, authority must not be exerted to the full. Second, blessings must not be enjoyed to the full. Third, rules must not be implemented to the full. Fourth, fine words must not be spoken to the full. Why? If fine words are spoken to the full, people will certainly treat them lightly. If rules are implemented to the full, people will certainly find them cumbersome. If blessings are enjoyed to the full, one's conditions will certainly become isolated. If authority is exerted to the full, disaster will certainly arrive.' Fojian bowed twice, took the advice to heart, and withdrew. Later, when Fojian took leave of Lingyuan, Lingyuan said: 'An abbot should hang his staff and traveling basket on the wall of the abbot's quarters; it is best if staying or leaving is as unburdened as that of a patchwork-robed monk.'
