袁州仰山慧寂禪師語錄 1.28

1.28

一日，第一座舉起拂子，云：「若人作得道理即與之。」師云：「某甲作得道理，還得否？」座云：「但作得道理便得。」師乃掣將拂子去。（雲居鍚云：「甚麼處是仰山道理？」）

One day, the chief monk held up a fly-whisk and said: "If someone can state the principle, I will give it to him." The Master said: "If I can state the principle, can I have it or not?" The chief monk said: "Just state the principle and you may have it." The Master then snatched the fly-whisk away. (Yunju Xi said: "Where is Yangshan's principle?")
