鎮州臨濟慧照禪師語錄 1.58

1.58

"When you hear from everywhere that this old fellow Linji has come out, you immediately intend to pose questions to render me speechless, only to be struck by this mountain monk's total dynamic function. You students can only gawk in vain; your mouths cannot move at all, and utterly confounded, you do not know how to answer me. I say to you: 'The trampling of dragon-elephants is not what donkeys can bear.' Everywhere you merely point to your chests and poke your ribs, saying, 'I understand Chan! I understand the Way!' Yet when two or three of you arrive here, you can do nothing at all. Bah! You take this body and mind, flapping your two lips everywhere to deceive the villages. The day will come when you taste the iron staff! You are no renunciants; you are completely subsumed under the realm of the asuras.
