### [8.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.8.9)

上堂云：「日面月面，胡來漢現，有時放行，有時把斷。世法佛法，打成一片，若作一片會，遇貴即賤；不作一片會，麥裏有麵。」復云：「三世諸佛不知有，一一面南看北斗，狸奴白牯却知有，戴角擎頭獅子吼；四稜蹋地又團圝，八角磨盤空裏走，擬推尋劈脊摟，拈得鼻孔失却口，為問普化一頭驢，何似紫胡一隻狗。」

> Ascending the hall, he said: "Sun Face, Moon Face; a barbarian comes, a Chinese appears. Sometimes letting go, sometimes holding tight. Worldly dharma and Buddha Dharma beaten into one piece. If you understand it as one piece, meeting the noble it becomes cheap; if you do not understand it as one piece, there is flour in the wheat." He added: "The Buddhas of the three periods do not know of its existence—each facing south, they look at the Northern Dipper. Wild foxes and white oxen do know of its existence—wearing horns and holding up heads, they give a lion's roar. With four corners stepping on the ground, yet it is round; an eight-cornered millstone runs through empty space. Intending to push and search, split the spine and pull; grasping the nostrils, one loses the mouth. Let me ask: how does Puhua's donkey compare to Zihu's dog?"
