虛堂和尚語錄 2.146

2.146

Ascending the hall, a monk asked, "Liu Tiemo visited Guishan. Guishan said: 'Old cow, you have come!' What was the intention behind this?" The master said, "A single arrow hits the bullseye." The monk said, "Liu Tiemo said: 'Tomorrow there is a great vegetarian feast on Mount Tai.' Guishan assumed a reclining posture, and Tiemo then went out—what about that?" The master said, "Indeed." The monk said, "It may be called both being adepts." The master said, "'Because of slandering this sūtra, they incur retribution such as this.'" The monk bowed.
