禪林寶訓 2.66

2.66

高菴住雲居。見衲子有攻人隱惡者。即從容諭之曰。事不如此。林下人道為急務。和乃修身。豈可苟縱愛憎壞人行止。其委曲如此。師初不赴雲居命。佛眼遣書勉云。雲居甲於江左。可以安眾行道。似不須固讓。師曰。自有叢林已來。學者被遮般名目。壞了節義者。不為不少。佛鑒聞之曰。高菴去就衲子所不及（記聞）。

When Gao'an resided at Yunju, whenever he saw a monk attacking another's hidden faults, he would calmly instruct him, saying, 'Things should not be this way. For people of the forests, the Way is the urgent task, and harmony is what cultivates the self. How can you indulge likes and dislikes and ruin another's conduct?' His painstaking care was like this. At first the master did not accept the appointment to Yunju. Foyan sent a letter encouraging him, saying, 'Yunju ranks first in the region south of the Yangtze; you can settle the assembly and practice the Way there. It seems you need not stubbornly decline.' The master said, 'Ever since the monastic groves began, among students ruined in integrity by titles and reputations of this kind, there have been not a few.' When Foyan heard this, he said, 'Gao'an's sense of when to serve and when to step down is beyond the reach of ordinary monks' (from *Jiwen*).
