大慧普覺禪師語錄 2.53

2.53

上堂，舉：「劉禹端公上雲居謝雨，問弘覺云：『雨從何來？』弘覺云：『從端公問處來。』端公遂禮三拜歡喜而退，行數步，弘覺召云：『端公。』端公回首，弘覺云：『問從何來？』端公無語，歸家三日而死。」師云：「劉禹端公無語歸家，三日而死，正爬著弘覺痒處，只是不知轉身一路。當初待伊道『問從何來』，但依前禮三拜歡喜而退，且教弘覺疑三十年。」

Ascending the hall, [the Master] cited: "Gentleman Liu Yu went up to Yunju to give thanks for rain and asked Hongjue, 'Where does the rain come from?' Hongjue said, 'It comes from the place where you ask.' Liu Yu then made three prostrations and retreated joyfully. After walking several steps, Hongjue called out, 'Gentleman Liu!' He turned his head, and Hongjue said, 'Where does the asking come from?' The gentleman had no words; upon returning home he died after three days." The Master said, "Gentleman Liu Yu had no words, went home, and died after three days; he had scratched right where Hongjue itched, yet he simply did not know the path to turn his body around. At that time, when Hongjue said, 'Where does the asking come from?' had he only made three prostrations as before and retreated joyfully, he would have made Hongjue doubt for thirty years."
