7.34

示眾,舉:「南泉坐次,一僧問訊叉手而立,泉云:『太俗生。』僧合掌,泉云:『太僧生。』僧無語。」師云:「合掌太僧生,叉手又俗氣,總不恁麼時,尊體無頓處。無頓處,有巴鼻,唵蘇嚕蘇嚕悉唎悉唎。」喝一喝云:「是甚麼?近來王令稍嚴,不許攙行奪市。」

Instructing the assembly, he cited: "Nanquan was sitting when a monk inquired after his health and stood with folded hands. Nanquan said, 'Too worldly.' The monk joined his palms. Nanquan said, 'Too monkish.' The monk was speechless."
The Master said, "Joining the palms is too monkish; folding the hands is worldly again. When it is not like either at all, your venerable body has nowhere to settle. Where there is nowhere to settle, there is a handle: Oṃ suru-suru śrī-śrī." Giving a shout, he said, "What is this? Lately the king's decrees have been somewhat strict; poaching in another's trade and seizing the market is not permitted."
