Yangshan came down from his meditation seat and struck him with four blows of a cane." > The Master critiqued this, saying, "Teacher and disciple meeting, rolling mustard seed and cast needle; borrowing a road to pass through for a time, they inevitably blunt each other. Xuedou said, 'Before the cane broke, why did he strike only four blows?'" > The Master said, "What sauce do you seek in a pancake? Xuedou said, 'One must be a fellow who cuts iron and severs nails before it can be so.'" > The Master said, "Much like following the corrupt and chasing the wicked. Later, Great Chan Buddha arrived at Huoshan and himself said, 'Four blows of a cane beneath Jiyun Peak; the world's Great Chan Buddha has come to study.' Huoshan said, 'Karmadāna, strike the bell!' Chan immediately fled." > The Master critiqued this, saying, "This fellow carried a melon seal of Yangshan to flaunt before others. Had it not been for Huoshan, he would almost have been duped. Even so, what a pity the order was executed only halfway. At that time, there was no need to call the karmadāna; he should have seized him right then and struck him with another four blows of a cane, letting this fellow doubt for thirty years!" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 17.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.17.39) - [Next: 17.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.17.41) - [Up: 17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.17) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997~en-mt.17.40) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [明覺禪師語錄](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1996.3.58) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.17.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.17.40) · Pramāṇa
