襄州王敬初常侍視事次。米和尚至。王公乃舉筆。米曰。還判得虛空否。公擲筆入廳更不復出。米致疑。至明日憑鼓山供養主入探其意。米亦隨至潛在屏蔽間偵伺。供養主才坐問云。昨日米和尚有什麼言句便不得見。王公曰。師子齩人韓獹逐塊。米師竊聞此語。即省前謬。遽出朗笑曰。我會也我會也。嘗問一僧。一切眾生還有佛性也無。僧云。盡有。公指壁畫狗子云。遮箇還有也無。僧無對。公自代云。看齩著。

> While Policy Advisor Wang Jingchu of Xiangzhou was conducting official business, Upādhyāya Mi arrived. Lord Wang raised his brush. Mi said: “Can you still pass judgment on empty space?”  
> The Lord threw down his brush, entered his office, and did not come out again. Mi harbored doubts. The next day, he relied on the Director of Offerings of Gushan to go in and probe his intentions. Mi also followed along, hiding behind a screen to spy. As soon as the Director of Offerings sat down, he asked: “What words did Upādhyāya Mi speak yesterday that made him unable to see you?”  
> Lord Wang said: “A lion bites the person; a hound of Han chases the clod.”  
> Master Mi overheard this remark, immediately realized his previous error, and hastily stepped out with a bright laugh, saying: “I understand! I understand!”  
>   
> \[Wang\] once asked a monk: “Do all sentient beings possess Buddha-nature?”  
> The monk said: “All possess it.”  
> The Lord pointed to a dog painted on the wall and said: “Does this one have it too?”  
> The monk had no reply.  
> The Lord answered in his place: “Watch out, it will bite!”
