汾陽無德禪師語錄 2.372

2.372

「投子問僧：『什麼處來？』云：『東西山禮拜祖師來。』云：『祖師不在東西山。』」代云：「早是不著便。」

"Touzi asked a monk, 'Where have you come from?' He said, 'I have come from paying respects to the Patriarch at the East and West Mountains.' [The Master] said, 'The Patriarch is not on the East or West Mountains.'" Replacing [the original words], he said, "Already it was out of place."
