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."
萬「罰」歸一
一天，
在靈泉寺的執事會議中，
和尚很嚴厲的指出，
梵唄實在唱得不好。
就叫典座師起來：
說，見X，
你起來說說看是什麼道理？
是不是飯沒煮好？
讓大眾師沒吃飽，所以梵唄唱不好！
典座師起立合掌回和尚：
是，師父。
會議繼續，討論至，
工程進度落後，
又叫典座師起來，
指責說：
見X，
是不是出坡時沒煮點心，
讓大眾沒力氣做事，所以進度才會落後？
典座師依然恭敬地回答：
是，師父。
一直至會議結束，
屢屢見典座起立合掌：
是，師父。
始終心平氣和，
沒有絲毫的情緒反應。
