楊岐方會和尚後錄 1.16

1.16

Ascending the hall, the director of offerings asked: "The snowy road is endless; how can one guide and transform?" The master said: "Mist locks the elegance of a thousand mountains; gradually ask the traveler." A monk asked: "If someone suddenly asks about Yangqi's meaning, I wonder how it should be cited?" The master said: "The wide wilderness shares the spring colors; before the cliff, the frost has not yet melted." The monk drew a circle and said: "If suddenly encountering such a person coming, what then?" The master turned his face away. The monk hesitated. The master then shouted and said: "Where has it gone?" The monk made a woman's bow. The master said: "When you return, I will give you thirty blows of the staff." The master then said: "Yangqi's command has already been issued before words; what is the correct command?" He gave a shout and descended from the seat.
