大慧普覺禪師語錄 12.72

12.72

讚歎竹菴，也是妙喜，罵詈竹菴，也是妙喜。讚之罵之，各有所以，讚之者為渠具衲僧正眼，
罵之者為渠浸在醋甕裏。或曰：「如竹菴之為宗師也，不可讚、不可罵，精金美玉自有定價，
讚之罵之徒增話𣠽。」妙喜聞之笑而不答，但拊掌叩齒三下，從教渠讚龜打瓦。

Praising Zhuan is Miaoxi; reviling Zhuan is also Miaoxi. Praising him or reviling him each has its reason: those who praise him do so because he possesses the patch-robed monk's true eye; those who revile him do so because he is steeped inside a vinegar vat. Someone said: "A lineage teacher like Zhuan can be neither praised nor reviled; fine gold and beautiful jade naturally have their fixed value, and praising or reviling him merely adds to idle gossip." Miaoxi heard this and smiled without answering; he merely clapped his hands, clicked his teeth three times, and let them divine by tortoiseshell or strike roof tiles as they pleased.
