26.55

Chan Master Faduan, [known as] Huiyue, of Bao'en Guangjiao Monastery in Hangzhou (the third generation to reside [there]). The Master went up to the hall and said, "For several nights I have talked of east and spoken of west with you sthaviras, yet without reaching the source. Today I shall throw wide open skillful means and speak it all at once for you sthaviras. Do you still take joy and delight [in this]? You have been standing long. Take care!" A monk asked, "The student has come up like this; please receive me, Master." The Master said, "I will not receive you." [The monk] asked, "Why do you not receive me?" The Master said, "Because you are far too clever."
