1.13

一日雲巖謂眾曰:「有箇人家兒子,問著無有道不得底。」師問:「他屋裏有多少典籍?」巖曰:「一字也無。」師曰:「爭得恁麼多知?」巖曰:「日夜不曾眠。」師曰:「問一段事還得否?」巖曰:「道得却不道。」

One day Yunyan addressed the assembly: 'There is a son of a household whom, whatever you ask, cannot fail to answer.' The Master asked: 'How many scriptures are in his house?' Yunyan said: 'Not a single word.' The Master said: 'How did he come to know so much?' Yunyan said: 'Day and night he has never slept.' The Master said: 'Would it be permissible to ask him about a certain matter?' Yunyan said: 'He could speak of it, but he does not.'
