20.22

嶺珏和尚。問學人不負師機。還免披毛戴角也無。師曰。闍梨也可畏對面不相識。曰恁麼即吞盡百川水方明一點心。師曰。雖脫毛衣猶披鱗甲。曰好來和尚具大慈悲。師曰。盡力道也出老僧格不得。

Upādhyāya Lingjue was asked: "If a student does not betray the Master's teaching mechanism, can he still escape wearing fur and bearing horns?" The Master said: "Ācārya, you are truly terrifying; facing each other, you do not recognise [me]." He said: "If so, then only when swallowing all the hundred rivers is the single point of mind made clear." The Master said: "Though you have shed the coat of fur, you still wear scales and armour." He said: "Fortunately, the upādhyāya possesses great compassion." The Master said: "Even if you speak with all your might, you cannot escape this old monk's standard."
