圓悟佛果禪師語錄 17.14

17.14

舉：「保壽開堂，三聖推出一僧，壽便打，三聖云：『恁麼為人，非但瞎却這僧眼，瞎却鎮州一城人眼去在。』保壽擲拄杖下座。」師云：「保壽大似毒龍攪海，直得雨似傾盆，三聖雖雷震青霄，焉助得威光一半。可中有箇直下承當，非但瞎却鎮州一城人眼，瞎却天下人眼去在。」

[The Master] cited: "When Baoshou opened his hall, Sansheng pushed forward a monk. Baoshou immediately struck him. Sansheng said, 'Acting for the person like this does not only blind this monk's eyes, but blinds the eyes of all the people in the entire city of Zhenzhou!' Baoshou threw down his staff and stepped down from the seat."
The Master said, "Baoshou was very much like a venomous dragon roiling the sea, causing rain to pour down like overturned basins. Though Sansheng's thunder shook the azure skies, how could it aid half of that majestic radiance? If there were someone who directly took charge, he would not only blind the eyes of all the people in the entire city of Zhenzhou, but blind the eyes of everyone in the world!"
