法演禪師語錄 2.66

2.66

上堂，舉：「雪峯問德山：『從上諸聖以何法示人？』山云：『我宗無語句，亦無一法與人。』雪峯從此有省。後有僧問雪峯：『和尚見德山，得箇什麼便休去？』雪峯云：『我空手去空手歸。』白雲今日說向透未過者，有兩箇人從東京來，問伊：『什麼處來？』他却道：『蘇州來。』便問伊：『蘇州事如何？』伊道：『一切尋常。』雖然如是，謾白雲不過。何故？只為語音各別。畢竟如何？蘇州菱，邵伯藕。」

Ascending the hall, he cited: "Xuefeng asked Deshan, 'With what Dharma did the ancient sages instruct people?' Deshan said, 'My lineage has no words or phrases, nor does it have a single Dharma to give to people.' From this Xuefeng had an awakening. Later, a monk asked Xuefeng, 'When the Upādhyāya saw Deshan, what did you obtain that made you cease?' Xuefeng said, 'I went empty-handed and returned empty-handed.' Baiyun today speaks to those who have not yet penetrated through: two people came from the Eastern Capital. I asked them, 'Where did you come from?' They said, 'From Suzhou.' Then I asked them, 'How are things in Suzhou?' They said, 'Everything is normal.' Even so, they could not deceive Baiyun. Why so? Merely because their dialects were different. In the end, how is it? Water caltrops from Suzhou, lotus roots from Shaobo."
