禪林寶訓 2.39

2.39

佛鑑懃和尚自太平遷智海。郡守曾公元禮問。孰可繼住持。佛鑒舉昺首座。公欲得一見。佛鑑曰。昺為人剛正。於世邈然無所嗜好。請之猶恐弗從。詎肯自來耶。公固邀之。昺曰。此所謂呈身長老也。竟逃于司空山。公顧謂佛鑒曰。知子莫若父。即命諸山堅請。抑不得已而應命（蟾侍者日錄）。

When Reverend Fojian Qin transferred from Taiping to Zhihai, Commandery Governor Lord Zeng Yuanli asked him, "Who may succeed as abbot?" Fojian recommended Head Monk Bing. The Lord wished to meet him once. Fojian said, "Bing is unyielding and upright as a man, aloof from the world without desires or hobbies. Even if you invite him, I fear he will not comply; how could he be willing to come on his own?" The Lord insisted on inviting him. Bing said, "This is what is called an 'exhibitionist elder.'" In the end, he fled to Mount Sikong. The Lord turned and said to Fojian, "No one knows a son better than his father." He then ordered the various monasteries to firmly invite him, and Bing, having no choice, finally complied with the command. (Chan Shizhe Rilu)
