袁州仰山慧寂禪師語錄 1.11

1.11

The Master accompanied Guishan on a walk in the mountains. They came to sit on a boulder, and while the Master was standing in attendance, suddenly a crow flew past carrying a red persimmon in its beak, which dropped in front of them. Guishan picked it up and gave it to the Master. The Master took it, washed it, and offered it back to Guishan. Guishan said, "Where did you get this?" The Master said, "This is brought about by the upādhyāya's virtue in the Way." Guishan said, "You must not be without a share either." He then divided half and gave it to the Master. (Xuansha said, "Big and small Guishan were held down by Yangshan in a single sitting, and to this day they cannot get up.")
