僧問:狗子還有佛性也無?
師云:無。
問:上至諸佛,下至螻蟻皆有佛性,狗子為什麼卻無?
師云:為伊有業識在。
A monk asked, "Does a dog have a Buddha-nature or not?"
The master said, "Not [Mu]!"
The monk said, "Above to all the Buddhas, below to the crawling bugs, all have Buddha-nature. Why is it that the dog has not?"
The master said, "Because he has the nature of karmic delusions".
