### [1.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1990.1.47)

師後開法王莽山，問僧：「近離甚處？」僧云：「廬山。」師云：「曾到五老峯麼？」僧云：「不曾到。」師云：「闍黎不曾遊山。」（雲門偃云：「此語皆為慈悲之故，有落草之談。」溈山秀云：「今人盡道慈悲之故有落草之談，只知捉月，不覺水深。忽若雲門當時謹慎唇吻，未審，後人若為話會？然水母無目，求食須假於蝦。」黃龍心云：「雲門仰山只有受璧之心，且無割城之意。殊不知被這僧一時領過。黃龍今日更作死馬醫。」乃拈拂子度與僧，僧擬接，便打。溈山喆云：「仰山可謂光前絕後，雲門雖然提綱宗要，鉗鎚天下衲僧，爭奈無風起浪，諸人還識這僧麼？親從廬山來。」黃龍震云：「仰山已是失却鼻孔，雲門更下註脚，有什麼救急處？我即不然。『近離甚處？』云：『廬山。』『曾到五老峰麼？』云：『不曾到。』只向道：『別甑吹香供養此人。』」）

> Later, the Master opened the Dharma at Mount Wangmang. He asked a monk, "Where did you leave recently?"  
> The monk said, "Mount Lu."  
> The Master said, "Did you ever visit the Five Old Men Peaks?"  
> The monk said, "I have never visited them."  
> The Master said, "Ācārya, you have never traveled the mountain." (Yunmen Yan said, "These words were entirely for the sake of compassion, talk descending into the weeds." Guishan Xiu said, "People today all say that for the sake of compassion there was talk descending into the weeds; they only know how to grab the moon, unaware of how deep the water is. If Yunmen had been cautious with his lips at that time, I wonder how later people would discuss and understand it? Yet a jellyfish has no eyes; to seek food it must rely on a shrimp." Huanglong Xin said, "Yunmen and Yangshan only had the intention of receiving the jade disk, but lacked the intention of ceding cities. Little did they know that they were completely taken in by this monk. Today Huanglong will try to cure a dead horse once more." He then picked up his fly-whisk and held it out to a monk; as the monk went to take it, he immediately struck him. Guishan Zhe said, "Yangshan can be called one who outshone predecessors and surpassed successors. Although Yunmen brought out the essential principles to forge and hammer the world's patched-robe monks, how could he help making waves where there was no wind? Do all of you still know this monk? He came directly from Mount Lu." Huanglong Zhen said, "Yangshan had already lost his nostrils, and Yunmen added further footnotes—what emergency remedy was there in that? I would not act thus. 'Where did you leave recently?' 'Mount Lu.' 'Did you ever visit the Five Old Men Peaks?' 'I have never visited them.' I would just say to him: 'Steam another cauldron of fragrant rice to make an offering to this person.'")
