### [1.98](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998b.1.98)

師一日云：「今時參禪人，如蠅子相似，有些腥羶氣味便泊，須是從頭與他拈却到無氣味處泊在，平地上從上來作家宗師能為人，惟睦州，見爾有坐地處便剗却，從頭秖是剗將去。」

> One day the Master said: "Chan practitioners nowadays are just like flies: wherever there is a fishy, greasy stench, they immediately land. One must sweep it away for them from top to bottom until they land in a place with no scent at all, on flat ground! Among the accomplished lineage masters from of old who were able to guide people, there was only Muzhou: whenever he saw you having a place to sit, he would chop it away; from top to bottom, he just kept chopping it away."
