2.149
乃云：「山僧尋常不曾抑逼人，只教退步楷磨，但得心死意消一番了，自然不胡亂拈匙放筯；不然，盡是念話杜家。」
He then said, "This mountain monk usually does not oppress people; I only tell you to step back and polish yourself. Once your mind dies and intentions are extinguished, naturally you will not carelessly pick up spoons and put down chopsticks. Otherwise, you are all just reciters of words from the Du family."
