3.27

[The Master] cited the head monks of the two halls of Linji shouting in unison. A monk asked Linji, "Was there still a guest and a host?" Ji said, "Guest and host were distinct." The Master said, "The sword that kills people and the blade that brings people to life are in Linji's hands. Even though it is like this, had he given a shout right then, even if they displayed great spiritual powers, they could only respond with the same voice."
