黃龍慧南禪師語錄 1.14

1.14

上堂云：「洪波浩渺，白浪滔天，截流到岸之人，端然忘慮；短棹孤舟之客，進退攢眉。且道：風恬浪靜一句，作麼生道？還有人道得麼？若無人道得，同安布施汝等諸人。」良久云：「漁人閑自唱，樵者獨高歌。」下座。

Ascending the hall, he said: "Great billows surge vast and boundless, white waves surge to the heavens. One who cuts across the flow to reach the shore is serene, forgetting all worries; the traveler in an isolated boat with short oars knits his brows, advancing and retreating. Tell me: how do you say a phrase for when the wind is calm and waves are still? Is there anyone who can say it? If no one can say it, Tong'an will bestow an alms-gift upon you all." After a long pause, he said: "The fisherman idly sings to himself; the woodcutter sings aloud alone." He descended from the seat.
