圓悟佛果禪師語錄 17.19

17.19

舉：「南泉示眾云：『文殊普賢昨夜起佛見法見，各與二十棒，貶向二鐵圍山去也。』趙州出云：『和尚棒教誰喫？』泉云：『王老師有什麼過？』州禮拜，南泉便歸方丈。」師拈云：「南泉動絃，趙州別曲，苦痛蒼天，寒山拾得。若是崇寧則不然，燈籠露柱昨夜起佛見法見，各與二十棒，令歸本位去也。或有箇出云：『和尚棒教誰喫？』只對他道：『落賓落主。』」

[The Master] cited: "Nanquan instructed the assembly, saying, 'Last night Mañjuśrī and Samantabhadra gave rise to views of Buddha and views of Dharma; each was given twenty blows of the staff and banished to the two Iron Enclosing Mountains.' Zhaozhou stepped forward and said, 'Whom does the Venerable make take the blows of the staff?' Nanquan said, 'What fault does Old Master Wang have?' Zhaozhou made a prostration, and Nanquan returned to the abbot's quarters."
The Master critiqued it, saying, "Nanquan touched the strings, and Zhaozhou recognized the tune. Bitter pain, blue sky! Hanshan and Shide! Were it Chongning, it would not be so: 'Last night the lanterns and bare pillars gave rise to views of Buddha and views of Dharma; each was given twenty blows of the staff and ordered to return to their original places.' Should someone step forward and say, 'Whom does the Venerable make take the blows of the staff?' I would simply tell him, 'Falling into guest, falling into host.'"
