大慧普覺禪師語錄 4.40

4.40

上堂：「今朝又是端午節，文殊善財忙不徹，殺人活人藥不靈，自添腦後三斤鐵。」驀拈拄杖卓一下云：「觀音妙智力，能救世間苦。」遂擲下云：「是甚麼？鐵蛇鑽入土。」

Ascending the high seat: "Today is the Duanwu Festival once again; Mañjuśrī and Sudhana are ceaselessly busy. The medicine that kills people and brings people to life has lost its efficacy, adding three pounds of iron behind their own heads." Abruptly taking his staff, he struck once and said, "'The wonderful power of Avalokiteśvara's wisdom can save the world from suffering.'" He then threw it down and said, "What is it? An iron snake bores into the earth."
