3.115

(Dahui said: "'Service' is the service of rendering reverence. Like a person serving a superior, one first presents respect and afterward renders service. 'Orientation' is where merit is established; as soon as there is orientation, there is the intent of serving. Therefore, the answer 'How is it when turning one's back?' means that this matter has no interruption: just as it is so when serving, it is also so when turning one's back. Speaking of turning one's back conveys the meaning of service, for serving and turning one's back are both merit.")
