22.43

Great Master Fabao, Qiwen of Mount Kang in Fuzhou. When he first opened the hall, a monk asked, "Since the King of Majestic Voice, there has been successive transmission. I do not know whose Dharma this assembly of the Master inherits." The Master said, "Xianggu raises his hand; Longxi nods his head." [The monk] asked, "Complete brightness, profound and still, is not the Master's teaching; why is the student yet unenlightened to the foundation?" The Master said, "Have you distinguished it yet?" The monk said, "If that is so, then the conscious nature has no root." The Master said, "Scratching an itch from outside the boot."
