撫州曹山本寂禪師語錄 2.13

2.13

Dongshan went to Peishu. Pei asked, "What have you come to do?" Shan said, "To draw close to the Venerable." Pei said, "If it is drawing close, what is the use of moving two flaps of skin?" Shan had no reply. The Master said, "A single child was intimate with him." A monk asked Dongshan, "Among the three bodies, which body does not fall into numbers?" Shan said, "I am always eager about this." A monk asked the Master, "The late master said, 'I am always eager about this.' What was the meaning?" The Master said, "If you want the head, just chop it off."
