9.25

壽州良遂禪師初參麻谷。麻谷召曰。良遂。師應諾。如是三召三應。麻谷曰。遮鈍根阿師。師方省悟乃曰。和尚莫謾良遂。若不來禮拜和尚。幾空過一生。麻谷可之。

Chan Master Liangsui of Shouzhou first visited Magu. Magu called out, 'Liangsui!' The master responded, 'Yes!' This happened three times: called three times, he responded three times. Magu said, 'This dull-rooted fellow!' The master only then awakened, and said, 'Venerable, do not deceive Liangsui. If I had not come to pay homage to the Venerable, I would have nearly spent my whole life in vain.' Magu approved him.
