6.8
上堂,舉:「僧問趙州:『學人乍入叢林,乞師指示。』州云:『爾喫粥了也未?』僧云:『喫粥了。』州云:『洗鉢盂去。』其僧於言下有省。」師云:「諸方拈掇甚多,下注脚亦不少,未曾有一人分明說破。妙喜今日為諸人分明說破,喫粥了便洗鉢盂。且道:還曾指示無?黑豆從來好合醬,比丘尼定是師姑。」
Ascending the hall, [the Master] cited: "A monk asked Zhaozhou: 'I have newly entered the monastery; I beg the master for instruction.' Zhaozhou said: 'Have you eaten your porridge yet?' The monk said: 'I have eaten my porridge.' Zhaozhou said: 'Go wash your bowl.' The monk had an awakening at these words."
The Master said: "Across the various quarters there has been much taking up and handling [of this case], and no few footnotes have been added to it, yet not a single person has ever clearly broken it open. Today Miaoxi will clearly break it open for you all: once you have eaten your porridge, then wash your bowl! Tell me: was there ever an instruction or not? Black beans have always been good for making paste; a bhikṣuṇī is definitely a nun!"
