瑞州洞山良价禪師語錄 1.91

1.91

A monk asked, "Who is the master of the Vairocana dharmakāya?" The Master said, "Stalks of rice and stems of millet." The monk asked, "Among the three bodies, which body does not fall into enumeration?" The Master said, "I have always been deeply concerned with this." (Later, a monk asked Caoshan, "The late master said, 'I have always been deeply concerned with this.' What did he mean?" Caoshan said, "If you want my head, just cut it off." The monk also asked Xuefeng; Xuefeng struck him across the mouth with his staff, saying, "I too have been to Dongshan." Chengtian Zong said, "One turning phrase, and the seas are tranquil and the rivers clear; one turning phrase, and the wind is high and the moon cold; one turning phrase, and one rides the thief's horse to pursue the thief. If suddenly a patch-robed monk were to step forward and say, 'None of it is like this,' I would also grant that he possesses a single eye." Miaoxi said, "Entangled in such vines? They haven't even dreamed of the three old fellows yet." He added, "Why not insert a needle into the vital region?")
