明覺禪師語錄 6.187

6.187

罷參還欲勘諸方，竿木隨身不易當（是則俱行，非則擒下），
翻憶古來興化老，主賓用盡力牽羊。

Ceasing study, you wish to examine the various quarters;
Carrying a pole wherever you go is not easy to undertake.
(If right, walk together; if wrong, seize and bring down.)
I turn and remember Old Xinghua of antiquity,
Exhausting guest and host to pull the sheep with all his might.
