大慧普覺禪師語錄 2.22

2.22

On the memorial day of the Venerable Yuanwu, the Master offered incense and said, "This venerable compassion in ordinary times was stiff-necked, his spirit overpowering the various quarters. He showed off excessive muddleheadedness and applied extraordinary vagueness, saying of himself: 'I can replace the eyes of everyone under heaven with soapberries.' Little did he know that his nostrils would be pierced through with a broken tether by an unfilial son! Since the end of the nostril-tether is in Jingshan's hands, letting him live is up to Jingshan, and having him die is up to Jingshan. Tell me, what serves as proof?" He then burned the incense and said, "Take this as proof."
