At one of the staff meetings in Linchuan Monastery, the Master harshly pointed out that our chanting was awkward. He called the chef monk, "Tell me what the reason is. Is it because you didn't cook enough rice, so that everyone had to chant with an empty stomach?" Chef monk stood up, held his palms together and said, "Yes, Master."
The meeting continued. When Master found that construction was behind schedule, he called the chef monk again. "Why, did you forget to cook some desserts while the monks were out working hard? Is that why we were behind schedule?" Chef monk said respectfully, "Yes, Master."
Throughout the meeting, the chef monk stood up repeatedly, every time calmly answering only with "Yes, Master."
万“罚”归一
一天，
在灵泉寺的执事会议中，
和尚很严厉的指出，
梵呗实在唱得不好。
就叫典座师起来：
说，见X，
你起来说说看是什么道理？
是不是饭没煮好？
让大众师没吃饱，所以梵呗唱不好！
典座师起立合掌回和尚：
是，师父。
会议继续，讨论至，
工程进度落后，
又叫典座师起来，
指责说：
见X，
是不是出坡时没煮点心，
让大众没力气做事，所以进度才会落后？
典座师依然恭敬地回答：
是，师父。
一直至会议结束，
屡屡见典座起立合掌：
是，师父。
始终心平气和，
没有丝毫的情绪反应。
