虛堂和尚語錄 2.11

2.11

He also cited: "The King of Min invited Luoshan to open the hall. Just as he ascended the seat, he gathered his saṅghāṭī robe with his hands, looked at the great assembly, and immediately stepped down from the seat. The King came forward, took Luoshan's hand, and said, 'How does the assembly on Gṛdhrakūṭa differ from today?' Luoshan said, 'I took you for a common fellow.'"
The Master said: "Luoshan making this move at that time certainly startled the crowd and stirred the assembly, thanks to meeting a great king who was a person of the Buddhadharma. If today someone suddenly asked the new Baolin, I would only say to him: 'I took it that there was no one who understood the tone.' Naturally, head and tail would be aligned."
