楊岐方會和尚後錄 1.17

1.17

上堂，云：「落鵰之箭，斬蛟之劍，主將自敗，抱馬拕旗，有人向安家立國處，道將一句來。」良久云：「太平本是將軍致，不許將軍見太平。」喝一喝。

Ascending the hall, the Master said: “An arrow that fells a vulture, a sword that slays a dragon—the commander himself is defeated, clasping his horse and dragging his banner. Let someone utter a phrase directed toward the place where family is settled and nation is established!” After a long pause, he said: “Peace was originally brought about by the general, yet the general is not permitted to see the peace.” He gave a shout.
