禪林寶訓 2.42

2.42

佛鑑曰。先師節儉一鉢囊鞋袋。百綴千補猶不忍棄置。嘗曰。此二物相從出關。僅五十年矣。詎肯中道棄之。有泉南悟上座送褐布裰。自言。得之海外。冬服則溫。夏服則涼。先師曰。老僧寒有柴炭紙衾。熱有松風水石。蓄此奚為。終却之（日錄）。

Fojian said: "Our late teacher was frugal: his single bowl bag and shoe sack had hundreds of patches and thousands of mends, yet he could not bear to cast them aside. He used to say, 'These two items have followed me since I left the pass, for nearly fifty years. How could I bear to abandon them midway?' There was Senior Monk Wu from southern Quanzhou who sent him a coarse cloth robe, saying of his own accord, 'I obtained it from overseas; it is warm in winter and cool in summer.' The late teacher said, 'In cold weather this old monk has firewood, charcoal, and a paper quilt; in hot weather I have the pine wind, water, and rocks. What would I store this for?' In the end, he declined it." (Rilu)
