撫州曹山本寂禪師語錄 1.56

1.56

師問僧：「作甚麼？」僧云：「掃地。」師曰：「佛前掃？佛後掃？」僧云：「前後一時掃。」師曰：「與曹山過靸鞋來。」（五祖戒代僧語云：「和尚是何心行。」）

The Master asked a monk, "What are you doing?" The monk said, "Sweeping the ground." The Master said, "Do you sweep in front of the Buddha or behind the Buddha?" The monk said, "I sweep front and back at the same time." The Master said, "Bring Caoshan his slippers." (Wuzu Jie spoke on the monk's behalf, saying: "What frame of mind does the Venerable have?")
