宏智禪師廣錄 3.3

3.3

He cited: On the day of Pravāraṇā, because Mañjuśrī had spent the summer retreat in three places, Kāśyapa wished to expel Mañjuśrī. Just as he approached the mallet, he saw hundreds of thousands of myriads of koṭis of Mañjuśrīs. Kāśyapa exhausted his spiritual power, but could not lift the mallet. The World-Honoured One then asked, "Which Mañjuśrī do you wish to expel?" Kāśyapa had no reply. The Master said, "The golden-hued ascetic had the mind but lacked the courage. If he had executed the decree fully at that time, not only the hundreds of thousands of myriads of koṭis of Mañjuśrīs, but even this yellow-faced Gautama would have been expelled as well! If he could have done so, not only would the true style have stood like a precipice, but he would also have made later people know that under the gate of us patch-robed monks, there is no place to put you idle buddhas and patriarchs."
