大慧普覺禪師語錄 5.25

5.25

上堂，舉：「普化一日在臨濟僧堂前喫生菜，濟見云：『大似一頭驢。』化便作驢鳴，濟云：『這賊。』化云：『賊賊。』便出去。」師云：「一箇驢鳴兩箇賊，堪與諸方為軌則，正賊草賊不須論，大施門開無壅塞。」

Ascending the hall, he cited: "One day Puhua was eating raw greens in front of Linji's Monks' Hall. Linji saw him and said: 'Very much like a donkey!' Puhua then brayed like a donkey. Linji said: 'This thief!' Puhua said: 'Thief! Thief!' and went out." The Master said: "One donkey's bray, two thieves: / worthy to serve as a rule for all quarters. / No need to discuss genuine thief or common thief; / the gate of great giving is open, without obstruction."
