明覺禪師語錄 3.84

3.84

[The Master] cited: "A monk asked Nanyuan, 'Where do the sages from of old go?' Nanyuan said, 'If not ascending to heaven, then entering hell.' The monk said, 'What about the Upādhyāya?' Nanyuan said, 'Do you know where Old Baoying lands?' The monk hesitated; Nanyuan struck him across the mouth with his whisk, then called the monk forward and said, 'The order should rightfully be executed by you.' He struck him again with the whisk." The Master said, "Since the order was executed by himself, and moreover the whisk knew not where it came from, Xuedou says 'Blind!'—just adding frost to snow."
