大慧普覺禪師語錄 4.13

4.13

上堂，僧問：「我宗無語句，實無一法與人時如何？」師云：「五味鑽秤鎚。」進云：「何故外揚家醜？」師云：「爾為甚麼舌頭拄地？」進云：「却被和尚引著。」師便打，問：「乾峯示眾云：『舉一不得舉二，放過一著落在第二。』意旨如何？」師云：「駱駝尾上釣冬瓜。」進云：「還許學人轉身吐氣也無？」師云：「許爾轉身，爾如何吐氣？」僧進前噓一聲，師云：「這弄泥團漢。」進云：「只如雲門道：『人從天台來，却往徑山去。』又作麼生？」師云：「老鼠喫鹽。」進云：「恁麼則知他滋味。」師云：「速禮三拜。」乃云：「久雨不曾晴，豁然天地清，祖師門下事，何用更施呈。」

Ascending the hall, a monk asked: "When our school has no verbal phrases, and there is truly not a single dharma given to people, how is it?" The Master said: "Five flavors bore into a steelyard weight." The monk continued: "Why broadcast household disgrace abroad?" The Master said: "Why does your tongue prop up the ground?" The monk continued: "Then I have been led on by the Master." The Master then struck him and asked: "Ganfeng addressed the assembly: 'If you bring up one, you must not bring up two; if you let pass the first move, you fall into the second.' What is the meaning?" The Master said: "Fishing for a winter melon on a camel's tail." The monk continued: "Do you still permit the student to turn around and catch his breath?" The Master said: "I permit you to turn around; how do you catch your breath?" The monk stepped forward and made a hissing sound. The Master said: "This fellow playing with mud balls!" The monk continued: "Just as Yunmen said: 'A person comes from Tiantai, yet goes to Jingshan.' How about that?" The Master said: "An old rat eats salt." The monk continued: "Then he knows its flavor." The Master said: "Quickly make three prostrations." Then he said: "The prolonged rain has not cleared; suddenly heaven and earth are pure. What need is there to display further the matters under the Patriarch's gate?"
