明覺禪師語錄 1.46

1.46

[The Master] cited: "Upādhyāya Longya asked Cuiwei, 'What is the meaning of the ancestral master's coming from the West?' Cuiwei said, 'Pass me the meditation board.' Longya took the meditation board and handed it to Cuiwei; as soon as Cuiwei received it, he struck him. Longya said, 'As for striking, strike as you will, but still there is no meaning of the ancestral master.' Later, he also asked Linji, 'What is the meaning of the ancestral master's coming from the West?' Linji said, 'Pass me the cushion.' Longya took the cushion and handed it to Linji; as soon as Linji received it, he struck him. Longya said, 'As for striking, strike as you will, but still there is no meaning of the ancestral master.'"
The Master said, "Linji and Cuiwei only understood how to release, but not how to gather in. If I had been Longya at that time, waiting for them to ask for the cushion and the meditation board, I would have picked them up and hurled them right at their chests."
