明覺禪師語錄 1.47

1.47

舉：「椑樹問定山：『不落數量，請師道。』定山提起數珠云：『是落不落？』樹云：『圓珠三竅人人有，請師圓前話。』山便打，椑樹便去，定山云：『三十年後槌胸大哭去在。』椑樹果後開堂示眾道：『三十年前，被定山老子瞞我一上，不同小小。』」師云：「定山用即用，爭柰險；椑樹知即知，要且未曾具擇法眼。試請辯看。」

[The Master] cited: "Paishu asked Dingshan, 'Without falling into numbers and quantities, please, Master, speak.' Dingshan held up his rosary and said, 'Does it fall, or not fall?' Paishu said, 'Everyone possesses the round bead with three holes; please, Master, round off the previous words.' Dingshan immediately struck him. Paishu immediately left. Dingshan said, 'Thirty years from now, you will beat your chest and weep aloud.' Later, Paishu indeed opened a hall and instructed the assembly, saying, 'Thirty years ago, I was deceived by old man Dingshan in no small measure.'"
The Master said, "As for Dingshan's application, apply he did, but how perilous! As for Paishu's knowing, know he did, but still he had never possessed the eye of Dharma-selection. Try to discern it."
