大慧普覺禪師語錄 1.21

1.21

上堂，僧問：「溈仰當時相見處插鍬叉手，意如何？」師云：「兩眼對兩眼。」進云：「沒絃琴上知音少，父子彈來格調高。」師云：「爾且道：在插鍬處？在叉手處？」進云：「竿頭絲線從師弄，不犯清波意自殊。」師云：「又却恁麼去也。」乃云：「有句無句如藤倚樹，碧眼胡兒不知落處，且道：落在甚麼處？」驀拈拄杖召大眾云：「看看，直下來也，急著眼覷。」擲下拄杖。

Ascending the hall, a monk asked, "When Guishan and Yangshan met back then, one stuck his shovel in the ground and the other crossed his hands—what was the meaning?" The Master said, "Two eyes facing two eyes." The monk advanced, saying, "On a stringless zither, few are those who understand the tone; when father and son play it, the style is noble." The Master said, "You tell me: is it where the shovel is stuck, or where the hands are crossed?" The monk advanced, saying, "The line on the pole is manipulated by the master; without disturbing the clear waves, its intent is naturally remarkable." The Master said, "You are going off like that again." He then said, "'Being and non-being are like wisteria leaning on a tree'—the blue-eyed barbarian did not know where it fell. So tell me: where did it fall?" Suddenly taking up his staff, he addressed the great assembly, saying, "Look, look! It comes straight down—quickly fix your eyes on it!" He threw down his staff.
