Ven. Mi Moyan, whenever he saw a monk coming, would hold up a wooden two-pronged fork and say:
"What devil prompted you to leave the home-life; what devil prompted you to go on pilgrimage? To speak will be death under the fork, not able to speak will also be death under the fork. Speak quickly! Speak quickly!"
Mi Moyan, pinning down those who came [to make their prostrations], taught them to recognize the original home.
Shanzhao's verse:
Seriously, for your sake, it is absolutely not recommended
To lose the real fork in order to grasp the illusory fork
This one leaves me speechless. (Forked.)
