14.34

米倉和尚。有僧新到參。繞師三匝敲禪床曰。不見主人翁終不下參眾。師曰。什麼處情識去來。僧曰。果然不在。師打一拄杖。僧曰。幾落情識呵呵。師曰。村草步頭逢著一箇有什麼話處。僧曰。且參眾去。

Upādhyāya Micang. A newly arrived monk came to call. He circled the Master three times, struck the meditation bed, and said, "Not seeing the master of the house, I will never go down to join the assembly." The Master said, "Where have your emotional consciousnesses been wandering?" The monk said, "Indeed, you are not here." The Master struck him with his staff once. The monk said, "I almost fell into emotional consciousness. Haha!" The Master said, "Having run into one at a rustic ferry landing, what talk is there?" The monk said, "For now, I shall go join the assembly."
