20.20

新羅雲住和尚。問諸佛道不得什麼人道得。師曰。老僧道得。曰諸佛道不得和尚作麼生道。師曰。諸佛是我弟子。曰請和尚道。師曰。不對君王好與二十棒。

Upādhyāya Yunzhu of Silla was asked: "What the Buddhas cannot speak of—who can speak of it?" The Master said: "This old monk can speak of it." He said: "The Buddhas cannot speak of it; how does the upādhyāya speak of it?" The Master said: "The Buddhas are my disciples." He said: "Please speak, Upādhyāya." The Master said: "Not facing the lord and king, you deserve twenty blows of the staff."
