明覺禪師語錄 2.113

2.113

師問新到：「闍梨甚處人？」僧提起坐具，師云：「蝦跳不出斗。」僧云：「𨁝跳。」師便打，僧云：「更𨁝跳。」師又打，僧便走，師喚迴，僧便禮拜云：「觸忤和尚。」師云：「我要者話行，爾又走作什麼？」僧云：「已遍天下了也。」師復打五下，僧云：「有諸方在。」師云：「爾只管喫棒。」師喚第二人近前來：「甚處人？」云：「鼎州人。」師云：「敗也。」僧云：「青天白日。」師云：「兩重公案。」僧云：「恰是。」師以拄杖指云：「爾擬𨁝跳。」僧擬議，師亦打五下，參頭云：「者僧喫棒，與某甲不同。」師一時喚近前，其僧珍重便走，師隨後與一拄杖。

The Master asked a newly arrived [monk]: "Ācārya, where are you from?" The monk lifted up his sitting mat. The Master said: "A shrimp cannot leap out of a peck-measure." The monk said: "A leap!" The Master then struck him. The monk said: "Another leap!" The Master struck him again. The monk then ran away. The Master called him back. The monk then bowed and said: "I have offended the upādhyāya." The Master said: "I want this conversation to proceed; why did you run off?" The monk said: "It has already spread across the entire world." The Master struck him five more times. The monk said: "The other regions are watching!" The Master said: "You only care about taking the stick." The Master called the second man forward: "Where are you from?" [The monk] said: "A man of Dingzhou." The Master said: "A defeat!" The monk said: "Blue sky and bright sun." The Master said: "A double public case." The monk said: "Exactly so." The Master pointed with his staff and said: "You intend to make a leap." As the monk hesitated, the Master also struck him five times. The leader of the postulants said: "This monk taking the stick is not the same as for me!" The Master immediately called him forward. That monk said: "Take care!" and ran off. The Master gave him a strike of the staff from behind.
