22.13

Chan Master Zhimo of Fo'ao Cloister on Mount Yun in Wenzhou (residing as the second generation). The Master ascended the hall and said, "Seeing all you sthaviras currently traveling like this on foot, tasting bitterness and hardship, winding around mountains and wading through ravines, it is certainly not to sightsee prefectures and counties or visit famous mountains and sacred traces—is it not solely for this one great matter? Now I just require that all of you convey some news from your fundamental inquiry. Yunshan dares to give you verification. Not only does Yunshan give verification, but even the Chan groves and Buddha lands also give verification." A monk asked, "What is the house style of Fo'ao?" The Master said, "Seeing off a guest, I do not step beyond three paces; inviting a visitor, it is only in front of the thatched hall."
