汾陽無德禪師語錄 2.157

2.157

歸宗鋤草，見一條蛇便斬却，僧問：「久嚮歸宗到來，只是箇麁行沙門。」宗云：「是爾麁？我麁？」後雪峯問德山：「古人斬蛇，意旨如何？」山便打，峯便走，山召云：「布納布納。」峯回首，山云：「他後悟去，方知老漢徹底老婆心。」

When Guizong was hoeing weeds, he saw a snake and immediately cut it in two. A monk asked, "I had long looked up to Guizong, but arriving here, you are merely a coarse-behaving śramaṇa."
Zong said, "Are you coarse, or am I coarse?"
Later, Xuefeng asked Deshan, "What was the ancient's intention in cutting the snake?"
Deshan struck him immediately. Xuefeng ran off. Deshan called out, saying, "Patch-robed monk! Patch-robed monk!"
Xuefeng turned his head. Deshan said, "When you awaken in the future, only then will you know this old fellow's thorough grandmotherly heart."
