24.8

Chan Master Xiu of Tianlong Monastery in Hangzhou (who had earlier resided at Suifeng) ascended the hall and addressed the assembly, saying: "Sthaviras, how much is there of nothing-to-do? In the twelve periods of the day, in what world do you settle your body and establish your life? Examine carefully and see. Why do you not seek a place to rest? For what reason do you instead examine other people? If you go on like this, you have already fallen into the second order." At that time, a monk asked, "Accepting the Master's words, 'If you go on like this, you have already fallen into the second order'—supposing a student comes forward without doing so at all, how does the Master distinguish him?" The Master said, "You are indeed an expert." The monk said, "If so, then today I have encountered the Master." The Master said, "For now, do not feign clarity." The monk asked, "Accepting the ancient's words, 'Both are mistaken,' I wonder what the ancient's intended meaning was?" The Master said, "Why do you not examine and blame yourself?" The monk said, "If so, then gods and humans have something to rely on." The Master said, "You are undeniably clever." The state conferred upon him the title Great Master Qinghui.
