Huangbo's Gobblers of Dregs (BCR11)

KOAN:

Huangbo said, “You’re all gulping down the dregs of the wine. If you keep running around like this, where will you find today? Don’t you know yet that there isn’t a single Chan teacher in the whole country?”
A student stepped forward and asked, “But what about all those places where people are guiding students and leading communities?”
Huangbo said, “I didn’t say no Chan, only no Chan teachers.”
