2.14

上堂:「月生一,鐵輪天子寰中勅;月生二,豐干騎虎入鬧市;月生三,蟭螟眼裏巨鼇翻。」驀拈拄杖云:「莫有同生同死底麼?出來與徑山拄杖子相見。」良久云:「見義不為,何勇之有?」擲下拄杖。

Ascending the hall: "When the moon is on its first day, the Iron-Wheel Emperor issues an edict throughout the realm; when the moon is on its second day, Fenggan rides a tiger into the bustling market; when the moon is on its third day, a giant sea-turtle flips within the midge's eye." Suddenly taking up his staff, he said, "Is there anyone who shares life and shares death? Come forth to meet Jingshan's staff!" After a long pause he said, "'Seeing what is right and not doing it—where is the courage in that?'" He threw down his staff.
