3.35

舉國師三喚侍者。侍者三應。國師云。將謂吾辜負汝。誰知汝辜負吾。師云。仁義道中。師資分上。再呼能再應。論實不論虛。且道。有辜負無辜負。皓玉無瑕。雕文喪德。

[The Master] cited: The National Teacher called his attendant three times, and the attendant responded three times. The National Teacher said: “I had thought I was letting you down; who would have known that you were letting me down?”
The Master said: “In the way of humaneness and righteousness, on the part of master and disciple, calling again and being able to respond again discourses on reality, not emptiness. And tell me: is there letting down or is there no letting down? Flawless white jade; carving patterns destroys its virtue.”
