瑞州洞山良价禪師語錄 1.16

1.16

師到京兆，禮拜興平和尚。興平云：「莫禮老朽。」師云：「禮非老朽。」興平云：「非老朽者不受禮。」師云：「他亦不止。」師却問：「如何是古佛心？」興平云：「即汝心是。」師云：「雖然如此，猶是某甲疑處。」興平云：「若恁麼，即問取木人去。」師云：「某甲有一句子，不借諸聖口。」興平云：「汝試道看。」師云：「不是某甲。」師辭，興平云：「甚麼處去？」師云：「㳂流無定止。」興平云：「法身㳂流？報身㳂流？」師云：「總不作此解。」興平乃拊掌。（保福展云：「洞山自是一家。」乃別云：「覓得幾人。」）

The Master arrived in Jingzhao and paid homage to Upādhyāya Xingping. Xingping said, "Do not bow to an old rotting wreck." The Master said, "The bowing is not to an old rotting wreck." Xingping said, "That which is not an old rotting wreck does not accept bows." The Master said, "Neither does it desist." The Master then asked, "What is the mind of the ancient Buddhas?" Xingping said, "It is just your mind." The Master said, "Even though it is so, it is still a place of doubt for me." Xingping said, "If that is so, then go ask a wooden man." The Master said, "I have a sentence that does not borrow from the mouths of the sages." Xingping said, "Try to say it and let us see." The Master said, "It is not me." When the Master took his leave, Xingping asked, "Where are you going?" The Master said, "Drifting along the stream with no fixed stopping place." Xingping said, "Is the Dharma-body drifting along the stream, or is the reward-body drifting along the stream?" The Master said, "I make neither interpretation." Xingping then clapped his hands. (Baofu Zhan said, "Dongshan is naturally in a class of his own." He then gave an alternative response: "How many people have been found?")
