鎮州臨濟慧照禪師語錄 1.81

1.81

龍牙問：「如何是祖師西來意？」師云：「與我過禪板來。」牙便過禪板與師，師接得便打。牙云：「打即任打，要且無祖師意。」牙後到翠微問：「如何是祖師西來意？」微云：「與我過蒲團來。」牙便過蒲團與翠微，翠微接得便打。牙云：「打即任打，要且無祖師意。」牙住院，後有僧入室請益，云：「和尚行脚時參二尊宿因緣，還肯他也無？」牙云：「肯即深肯，要且無祖師意。」

Longya asked, "What is the meaning of the Ancestral Master's coming from the West?" The master said, "Pass me the meditation board." Ya passed the meditation board to the master; the master took it and struck him. Ya said, "Strike as you will, but after all there is no Ancestral Master's meaning." Later, Ya went to Cuiwei and asked, "What is the meaning of the Ancestral Master's coming from the West?" Wei said, "Pass me the cushion." Ya passed the cushion to Cuiwei; Cuiwei took it and struck him. Ya said, "Strike as you will, but after all there is no Ancestral Master's meaning." Later, when Ya resided as abbot, a monk entered his room to ask for instruction, saying, "When the Venerable was on pilgrimage and visited those two venerable masters, did you approve of them or not?" Ya said, "As for approving, I deeply approved, but after all there is no Ancestral Master's meaning."
