撫州曹山元證禪師語錄 1.20

1.20

A monk asked, "Do the eyebrows and the eyes know each other?" The Master said, "They do not know each other." The monk said, "Why do they not know each other?" The Master said, "Because they are in the same place." The monk said, "If so, then they are not distinguished." The Master said, "The eyebrows are by no means the eyes, and the eyes are by no means the eyebrows." The monk said, "What are the eyes?" The Master said, "Straight to the point." The monk said, "What are the eyebrows?" The Master said, "Caoshan, however, doubts." The monk said, "Why does the Venerable doubt?" The Master said, "If I did not doubt, then it would go straight to the point."
