### [3.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.3.32)

檀越請上堂，僧問：「教云：『初日分、中日分、後日分，皆以恒河沙等身布施。』如何是初日分恒河沙等身布施？」師云：「大海若不納，百川應倒流。」進云：「如何是中日分恒河沙等身布施？」師云：「見成公案。」進云：「如何是後日分恒河沙等身布施？」師云：「盡未來際一時收。」師乃云：「日面月面珠回玉轉，有句無句絲來線去。如來禪，父母未生前；祖師意，井底紅塵起。透得者，權實句下雙明；透未得者，葛藤窠裏埋沒。透得透不得，總不恁麼時如何？薰風自南來，殿閣生微涼。」

> A patron having requested him to ascend the hall, a monk asked: "The teaching says: 'In the first part of the day, the middle part of the day, and the latter part of the day, one gives away bodies as numerous as the sands of the Ganges.' What is the giving of bodies as numerous as the sands of the Ganges in the first part of the day?" The Master said: "If the great sea did not take them in, the hundred rivers would flow backward." The monk continued: "What is the giving of bodies as numerous as the sands of the Ganges in the middle part of the day?" The Master said: "A ready-made gong'an." The monk continued: "What is the giving of bodies as numerous as the sands of the Ganges in the latter part of the day?" The Master said: "To the end of the future, all gathered up at once." The Master then said: "Sun-face, moon-face: pearls turn and jade revolves; with phrases, without phrases: threads come and cords go. Tathāgata Chan: before your parents were born. The Patriarch's intention: red dust rises from the bottom of the well. For one who has penetrated it, provisional and real are both illumined beneath the phrase; for one who has not penetrated it, he is buried in a tangle of vines. Penetrated or not penetrated—how is it when none of this applies at all? 'The balmy breeze comes from the south, bringing a slight coolness to the palace pavilion.'"
