明覺禪師語錄 3.4

3.4

He brought up: "One day during general labor, Xuefeng was carrying a bundle of vines on his back. Meeting a monk on the road, Xuefeng threw it down. Just as the monk was about to pick it up, Xuefeng kicked him over. Returning, he related this to Changsheng and said: 'I kicked that monk briskly today!' Changsheng said: 'The upādhyāya must enter the nirvāṇa hall on that monk's behalf before he will get it.' Xuefeng then dropped the matter." The Master said: "Changsheng was very much like someone mourning at the western house when someone dies at the eastern house; he also deserved a kick."
