舉:「安國問僧:『得之於心,伊蘭作栴檀之樹;失之於旨,甘露乃蒺䔧之園。我要箇語具得失兩意。』僧竪起拳云:『不可喚作拳頭。』國云:『只為喚作拳頭。』」師云:「無繩自縛漢,拳頭也不識。」
He cited: "Anguo asked a monk, ''Attained in the mind, the eraṇḍa becomes a sandalwood tree; lost in the principle, amṛta turns into a garden of caltrops.' I want a statement that possesses both senses of gain and loss.' The monk raised his fist and said, 'It must not be called a fist.' Anguo said, 'Only because it is called a fist.'" The Master said, "A fellow who binds himself without a rope—he doesn't even recognize a fist."
