郢州興陽山清讓禪師僧問。大通智勝佛十劫坐道場。佛法不現前不得成佛道時如何。師曰。其問甚諦當。僧曰。既是坐道場。為什麼不得成佛道。師曰。為伊不成佛。

> A monk asked Chan Master Qingrang of Mount Xingyang in Ying Prefecture, "'The Buddha of Great Penetrating Wisdom and Excellence sat in the place of enlightenment for ten kalpas, yet the Buddha Dharma did not appear before him, and he could not accomplish the Buddha Way.' How is it at such a time?"  
> The Master said, "That question is extremely apt."  
> The monk said, "Since he was sitting in the place of enlightenment, why could he not accomplish the Buddha Way?"  
> The Master said, "Because he does not become a Buddha."
