56Master Mi's White Rabbit密師白兔
Introduction 示眾
寧可永劫沈淪，不求諸聖解脫。提婆達多，無間獄中受三禪樂；欝頭藍弗，有頂天上墮飛狸身。且道：利害在甚麼處？
Better to sink and drown forever than chase the saints' liberation. Devadatta, deep in the hell of no relief, tasted the bliss of the third meditation. Udraka, perched at the very summit of heaven, fell back into the body of a flying fox. So tell me: where is the gain, and where the loss?
密師伯與洞山行次，見白兔子面前走過。密云：「俊哉！」山云：「作麼生？」密云：「如白衣拜相。」山云：「老老大大，作這箇語話！」密云：「爾又作麼生？」山云：「積代簪纓，暫時落薄。」
Master Mi was walking with Dongshan when a white rabbit darted across the path in front of them.
"Quick little thing!" said Mi.
"How so?" said Dongshan.
"Like a commoner raised straight to prime minister," said Mi.
"A grown man your age, and that's the best you can do?" said Dongshan.
"Then what would you say?" said Mi.
"Generations of nobility," said Dongshan, "fallen low for a little while."
