楊岐方會和尚後錄 1.14

1.14

上堂，僧問：「虎符金印師親握，家國興亡事若何？」師云：「將軍不舉令。」僧云：「坐籌幃幄，非師者誰？」師云：「金州客。」僧云：「幸對人天，願觀盛作。」師云：「楊岐鼻孔，在闍梨手裏。」僧云：「學人性命，在和尚手中。」師云：「爾乾𨁝跳作什麼？」僧云：「下坡不走，快便難逢。」撫掌一下，便禮拜。師云：「看者一員戰將。」師乃云：「風霜刮地，寒葉飄空，不涉春緣，拈將鼻吼來。」遂拍禪床一下云：「來年更有新條在，惱亂春風卒未休。」

Ascending the hall, a monk asked: "The master personally holds the tiger tally and the gold seal; what about the rise and fall of the household and state?" The master said: "The general does not issue commands." The monk said: "Who else but the master devises strategies within the tent?" The master said: "A traveler from Jinzhou." The monk said: "Fortunately facing humans and devas, we wish to observe your magnificent performance." The master said: "Yangqi's nostrils are in the ācārya's hands." The monk said: "The student's life is in the Venerable's hands." The master said: "Why are you jumping about in vain?" The monk said: "Not running while going downhill, a good opportunity is hard to meet." Clapping his hands once, he made a prostration. The master said: "Look at this battle commander!" The master then said: "Wind and frost scour the ground; cold leaves flutter in the air. Without touching upon conditions of spring, bring forth your nostrils!" He then struck the meditation bench once and said: "Next year there will be yet newer shoots; / Disturbers of the spring breeze never cease."
