景德傳燈錄 9.19

9.19

Chan Master Dao of Weiguo Cloister in Jingzhao (both the Catalogue and the Record of the Orthodoxy say Luojing): A monk came for an interview. The master asked, "Where do you come from?" The monk said, "I come from Xiangnan." The master said, "Has the Yellow River cleared yet?" The monk had no reply. (Guishan said on his behalf, "A little fox wishing to cross simply crosses; why harbor doubts?") The master was ill. Someone came to inquire about his illness, but the master did not come out. The person said, "I have long heard of the upādhyāya's virtue in the Dao. Suddenly hearing that your bodily health is indisposed, I request to see the upādhyāya." The master put a bowl-stand inside an alms-bowl, ordered an attendant to carry it out, and presented it. The person had no reply.
