The master instructed the assembly saying, "A person that teaches is living in the present life. A person that doesn't teach is living in the third world of karmic retribution. If there is no teaching, all living things will fall [into hell]. If there is teaching, there is still karmic retribution. Then, will you teach or not?"
A monk said, "I will teach."
The master said, "Are you seen by all living things or not?"
The monk said, "I am unseen."
The master said, "Why are you unseen?"
The monk said, "I have no form."
The master said, "Right now do you see me or not?"
The monk said, "You are not a living thing."
The master said, "If you yourself know the transgression, it is fine."
My thoughts: Here is a knife.
