6.191

舉：「長髭曠和尚問僧：『甚處來？』僧云：『九華山控石庵。』髭云：『庵主是甚麼人？』云：『馬祖下尊宿。』云：『名甚麼？』云：『不委他法號。』髭云：『他不委，爾不委？』云：『尊宿眼在甚處？』髭云：『若是庵主親來，今日也須喫棒。』僧云：『賴遇和尚放過某甲。』髭云：『百年後討箇師僧也難得。』」

He cited: "Upādhyāya Changzi Kuang asked a monk: 'Where do you come from?' The monk said: 'Kongshi Hermitage on Mount Jiuhua.' Changzi said: 'What kind of person is the hermitage master?' He said: 'A senior venerable under Mazu.' [Changzi] said: 'What is his name?' He said: 'I do not know his Dharma name.' Changzi said: 'Does he not know, or do you not know?' He said: 'Where are the senior venerable's eyes?' Changzi said: 'Even if the hermitage master came in person, today he would also have to take a beating with the staff.' The monk said: 'Fortunately, I met with the upādhyāya letting me off.' Changzi said: 'Even in a hundred years, finding such a master monk would be difficult.'"
