1.23

上堂云：「汝等諸人，傍家行脚皆是河南海北來，各各盡有生緣所在，還自知得麼？試出來舉看，老漢與汝證明。有麼有麼？汝若不知，老漢瞞汝去也。汝欲得識麼？生緣若在向北，北有趙州和尚，五臺文殊總在這裏；生緣若在向南，南有雪峯臥龍，西院鼓山總在這裏。汝欲得識麼？向這裏識取。若不見，莫掠虛。見麼見麼？若不見，且看老漢騎佛殿出去也。珍重。」問：「六國未寧時如何？」師云：「雲擎雨色。」問：「上無攀仰下無己躬時如何？」師云：「藏身一句作麼生道。」僧便禮拜。師云：「放過一著，置將一問來。」僧無語。師云：「這死蝦蟇。」問：「如何是色即是空？」師云：「拄杖敲汝鼻孔。」問：「如何是和尚非時為人一句？」師云：「早朝牽犁，晚間拽把。」問：「三乘五性即不問，如何是衲僧門下事？」師云：「日勢稍晚，速禮三拜。」問：「久值為什麼不識？」師云：「測。」問：「如何是心？」師云：「心。」進云：「不會。」師云：「不會。」進云：「究竟如何？」師咄云：「靜處東行西行。」問：「三界唯心萬法唯識時如何？」師云：「舌根裏藏身。」進云：「藏身後如何？」師云：「蘇嚕蘇嚕。」問：「如何是途中受用？」師云：「七九六十三。」進云：「如何是世諦流布？」師云：「江西湖南新羅渤海。」問：「密室不通風時如何？」師云：「響露鳴風。」進云：「如何是密室中人？」師云：「再陳難辨。」問：「直與麼來時如何？」師云：「照從何立？」進云：「不去不來時如何？」師云：「前語道什麼？」問：「進向無門時如何？」師云：「三千八百。」

Ascending the hall, he said: "All of you travelling monks have come from Henan and Haibei, each having the place of your native origin. Do you know it yourself? Try coming forward and bringing it up for me to see; this old fellow will verify it for you. Is there anyone? Is there anyone? If you do not know, this old fellow will deceive you. Do you wish to recognise it? If your native origin is to the north, in the north there is Upādhyāya Zhaozhou, and Mañjuśrī of Wutai is entirely right here; if your native origin is to the south, in the south there is Wolong of Xuefeng, and Xiyuan and Gushan are entirely right here. Do you wish to recognise it? Recognise it right here! If you do not see it, do not snatch at emptiness. Do you see? Do you see? If you do not see, for now watch this old fellow ride the Buddha hall out! Take care." He asked, "What about when the six states are not yet at peace?" The Master said, "Clouds holding the colour of rain." He asked, "What about when above there is nothing to look up to, and below there is no personal self?" The Master said, "How do you speak a phrase of concealing the body?" The monk then bowed. The Master said, "I let that move go; bring forward another question!" The monk had no words. The Master said, "This dead frog!" He asked, "What is 'form is emptiness'?" The Master said, "The staff strikes your nostrils." He asked, "What is the upādhyāya's phrase for helping people outside the proper time?" The Master said, "In the early morning, pull the plough; in the evening, drag the harrow." He asked, "The three vehicles and five natures I do not ask about; what is the matter under the patch-robed monk's gate?" The Master said, "The sun's position is somewhat late; quickly make three bows." He asked, "Having encountered it long ago, why does one not recognise it?" The Master said, "Fathom." He asked, "What is mind?" The Master said, "Mind." He advanced and asked, "I do not understand." The Master said, "Do not understand." He advanced and asked, "What is it ultimately?" The Master scolded him and said, "In a quiet place, walking east, walking west." He asked, "What about when the three realms are cittamātra and the myriad phenomena are vijñaptimātra?" The Master said, "Conceal the body in the root of the tongue." He advanced and asked, "What about after concealing the body?" The Master said, "Suru suru." He asked, "What is the enjoyment along the road?" The Master said, "Seven times nine is sixty-three." He advanced and asked, "What is the circulation of worldly truth?" The Master said, "Jiangxi, Hunan, Silla, Bohai." He asked, "What about when the secret room does not admit wind?" The Master said, "A sound reveals the whistling wind." He advanced and asked, "Who is the person in the secret room?" The Master said, "Stating it again, it is hard to distinguish." He asked, "What about coming straight like this?" The Master said, "Where is illumination established from?" He advanced and asked, "What about neither going nor coming?" The Master said, "What did the previous words say?" He asked, "What about when advancing forward has no gate?" The Master said, "Three thousand eight hundred."
