大慧普覺禪師語錄 3.28

3.28

上堂，舉：「臨濟一日侍立德山次，德山顧謂曰：『老僧今日困。』臨濟曰：『這老漢寐語作甚麼？』山擬拈棒，濟便掀倒繩床。雲峯云：『二員作家，一拶一捺，略露風規，大似把手上高山。雖然如是，未免傍觀者哂。』」師云：「雲峯老人恁麼批判，大似普州人，徑山若見，縛作一束，送在河裏。何故？不見道蚌鷸相持，俱落漁人之手。」

Ascending the hall, he cited: "One day, while Linji was standing in attendance beside Deshan, Deshan looked back and said to him, 'This old monk is weary today.' Linji said, 'What is this old fellow talking in his sleep for?' Deshan made to take up his stick, and Linji promptly overturned the rope chair. Yunfeng said: 'Two masters of the craft: one pressing and one pushing down, slightly revealing the style and standard—much like holding hands to climb a high mountain. Although this is so, they could not avoid the smirk of bystanders.'" The Master said: "Old man Yunfeng's criticism like that is very much like a man from Puzhou. If Jingshan had seen them, he would have tied them into a bundle and sent them into the river. Why? Have you not heard it said: 'When the clam and the snipe grapple with each other, both fall into the fisherman's hands'?"
