虛堂和尚語錄 10.96

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [10.96](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.10.96)

容易肯人，難與共語，竹篦頭惜之如金，禪床角委之如土，淨覃知藏善知機，電光影裏分賓主。

> Easily giving approval to people, it is difficult to speak with him;  
> the tip of the bamboo spatula he treasures like gold,  
> the corner of the meditation couch he casts aside like dirt.  
> Jingtan, Master of the Canon, well knows the crux of the moment;  
> within the flash of lightning, host and guest are distinguished.
