20.22

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."
