楊岐方會和尚後錄 1.28

1.28

上堂，云：「釋迦老子初生時，周行七步，目顧四方，一手指天，一手指地。今時衲僧，盡皆打模畫樣，便道：『天上天下，唯我獨尊。』雲蓋不惜性命，亦為諸人打箇樣子。」良久云：「陽氣發時無硬地。」

Ascending the hall, he said: “When old man Śākya was first born, he walked seven paces in each direction, looked around in the four quarters, pointed one hand to heaven, and pointed one hand to earth. Patched-robed monks nowadays all imitate this pattern and readily say: ‘Above heaven and below heaven, I alone am venerable.’ Yungai does not begrudge his life and will also set a pattern for everyone.” After a long pause, he said: “When the yang qi arises, there is no hard ground.”
