23.21

嚴州鍾山道隆首座。桐廬董氏子。於鍾山寺得度。自游方所至耆衲皆推重。晚抵黃龍。死心延為座元。心順世遂歸隱鍾山。慕陳尊宿高世之風。掩關不事事。日鬻數籰自適。人無識者。手常穿一襪。凡有禪者至提以示之曰。老僧這襪著三十年了也。有寺僧戲問。如何是無諍三昧。師便掌。

Head Monk Daolong of Zhongshan in Yanzhou was a son of the Dong family of Tonglu. He received ordination at Zhongshan Temple. Wherever he traveled during his itinerant pilgrimage, the senior patch-robed monks all praised and esteemed him. Later he reached Huanglong, where Sixin invited him to be the head monk. After Sixin passed away, he went into secluded retirement at Zhongshan. Admiring the exalted, world-transcending style of Venerable Chen, he closed his gate and engaged in no affairs, daily selling several hampers to content himself; no one recognized him. On his hand he always wore a single sock, and whenever a Chan practitioner arrived, he would hold it up to show them, saying, "This old monk has worn this sock for thirty years." A temple monk playfully asked, "What is the samādhi of non-contention?" The Master immediately slapped him.
