5.29

上,堂舉:「俱胝和尚凡有所問,唯竪起一指,又自賣弄云:『我在天龍處,得一指頭禪,一生受用不盡。』後來琅瑘有頌云:『俱胝一指報君知,朝生鷂子搏天飛,若無舉鼎拔山力,千里烏騅不易騎。』」師云:「俱胝和尚若不得琅瑘為伊出氣,幾乎埋沒了這一指頭禪。妙喜既恁麼舉,不免隨後也有箇註脚,俱胝一指頭,喫飯飽方休,腰纏十萬貫,騎鶴上楊州。」

Ascending the hall, he cited: "Whenever Master Juzhi was asked a question, he only raised a single finger; he also showed off, saying: 'At Tianlong's place, I obtained One-Finger Chan, which I have used all my life without exhausting.' Later, Langye wrote a verse: 'Juzhi's single finger—I report for you to know: / A hawk born this morning battles the sky in flight. / Without the strength to lift a tripod and uproot a mountain, / the thousand-league Wuzhui steed is not easy to ride.'" The Master said: "If Master Juzhi had not had Langye vent his spirit for him, this One-Finger Chan would almost have been buried away. Since Miaoxi has cited it thus, inevitably a footnote follows: Juzhi's single finger—only when fully fed with rice does he stop. With a hundred thousand strings of cash wrapped at the waist, riding a crane up to Yangzhou."
