1.28

上堂云：「我共汝平展，遇人識人，與麼老婆說話，尚自不會；每日飽喫飯了，上來下去覓什麼椀，這野狐隊仗向這裏作什麼？」以拄杖一時趁下。問：「初秋夏末，前程忽有人問，如何祇對？」師云：「大眾退後。」進云：「過在什麼處？」師云：「還我九十日飯錢來。」問：「學人近到法席，未審家風事如何？」師云：「不歷一問作麼生道？」問：「十方國土中唯有一乘法，如何是一乘法？」師云：「何不別問。」進云：「謝師指示。」師便喝。問：「承古有言：一塵遍含一切塵。如何是一塵？」師云：「吃嘹舌頭，更將一問來。」問：「學人不問，師還答也無？」師云：「將汝口挂壁上不得。」問：「一切尋常時如何？」師云：「雖然屎臭氣熏我，我且問爾，晝行三千夜行八百，爾鉢盂裏什麼處著？」無對，師云：「脫空妄語漢。」問：「如何是教眼？」師云：「速禮三拜。」問：「承古有言：牛頭橫說竪說，不知有向上關棙子。如何是向上關棙子？」師云：「東山西嶺青。」問：「如何是露地白牛？」師云：「歸依佛、歸依法、歸依僧。」進云：「白牛何在？」師咄之。問：「樹凋葉落時如何？」師云：「體露金風。」問：「如何是布袋裏真珠？」師云：「說得麼？」問：「如何是祖宗的子？」師云：「言中有響。」

Ascending the hall, he said: "I have opened things out flat with you; meeting people, I know people. With such grandmotherly talk, you still do not understand it yourselves. Every day, after eating your fill of rice, you come up here and go down there, looking for what sort of bowl? What are you bands of wild foxes doing here?" With his staff, he chased them all down at once. A monk asked: "At the beginning of autumn and the end of summer, if someone ahead suddenly asks, how should I answer?" The Master said: "The assembly steps back." The monk advanced and asked: "Where is the fault?" The Master said: "Give me back the cost of ninety days of food!" A monk asked: "The student has newly arrived at the Dharma assembly; I wonder what the house style is like?" The Master said: "Without undergoing a single question, what will you say?" A monk asked: "In the lands of the ten directions there is only the One Vehicle Dharma. What is the One Vehicle Dharma?" The Master said: "Why not ask another question?" The monk advanced and asked: "I thank the Master for pointing it out." The Master gave a shout. A monk asked: "I have received an ancient's saying: 'A single dust mote universally contains all dust motes.' What is the single dust mote?" The Master said: "Bite off your tongue and bring another question!" A monk asked: "If the student does not ask, does the Master still answer or not?" The Master said: "You cannot hang your mouth upon the wall." A monk asked: "When everything is ordinary, how is it?" The Master said: "Although the stench of shit fouls me, let me ask you: you travel three thousand [li] by day and eight hundred by night; where do you put your alms-bowl?" There was no answer. The Master said: "Hollow-talking, lying fellow!" A monk asked: "What is the eye of the teachings?" The Master said: "Quickly make three prostrations." A monk asked: "I have received an ancient's saying: 'Niutou spoke across and spoke upright, but did not know there is the transcendent latch.' What is the transcendent latch?" The Master said: "The eastern mountain, the western ridge is green." A monk asked: "What is the white ox in the open ground?" The Master said: "I take refuge in the Buddha, I take refuge in the Dharma, I take refuge in the Sangha." The monk advanced and asked: "Where is the white ox?" The Master scolded him. A monk asked: "When the tree withers and the leaves fall, how is it?" The Master said: "The body is exposed in the golden wind." A monk asked: "What is the true pearl in the bag?" The Master said: "Can you speak it?" A monk asked: "What is the ancestral school's bull's-eye?" The Master said: "There is an echo within the words."
