18.19

舉:「僧問香林:『如何是衲衣下事?』林云:『臘月火燒山。』」師拈云:「舉一明三衲僧孔竅,千差一轍本分鉗鎚。雖然如是,或有問道林:『如何是衲衣下事?』只對他道:『綿包特石。』」

He cited: "A monk asked Xianglin, 'What is the matter beneath the patch-robed monk's robe?' Xianglin said, 'In the twelfth lunar month, fire burns the mountain.'" The Master commented: "Raising one to illuminate three is the monk's aperture; a thousand distinctions on a single track is the hammer and tongs of the fundamental lot. Even though this is so, if someone were to ask Daolin, 'What is the matter beneath the patch-robed monk's robe?' I would simply say to him, 'Cotton wrapping a special stone.'"
