17.9

舉:「靈雲見桃華悟道頌:『三十年來尋劍客,幾回葉落又抽枝,自從一見桃華後,直至如今更不疑。』玄沙云:『諦當甚諦當,敢保老兄未徹在。』」師云:「千鈞之弩不為鼷鼠發機,靈雲既撥動天關,玄沙乃掀翻地軸,且道:那箇是未徹處?具透關眼者試請辨看。」

[The Master] cited: "Lingyun saw peach blossoms and was awakened to the Way, uttering a verse: 'For thirty years I sought a sword-bearing guest; / How many times did leaves fall and branches sprout anew? / Ever since I once saw the peach blossoms, / Direct up to now I have doubted no more.' Xuansha said, 'Exceedingly right, very right indeed! Yet I dare guarantee the venerable elder is not yet thoroughgoing.'"
The Master said, "A crossbow of a thousand jun does not trigger its mechanism for a tiny mouse. Lingyun having stirred the heavenly portal, Xuansha thereupon overturned the terrestrial pivot. Tell me: which is the place that is not yet thoroughgoing? Let those with the eye to penetrate the barrier try to distinguish it!"
