大慧普覺禪師語錄 4.16

4.16

Ascending the hall, the Master brought up: "When Mazu was enjoying the mid-autumn moon with Xitang, Nanquan, and Baizhang, Mazu pointed to the moon and said: 'Just at such a time, how is it?' Xitang said: 'Just right for cultivation.' Baizhang said: 'Just right for making offerings.' Nanquan shook his sleeves and walked away. Mazu said: 'The scriptures enter the canon; Chan returns to the sea; only Puyuan alone transcends beyond things.'" The Master said: "Do you know where the four elders landed? If not yet, listen to a verse: / When the state is peaceful, talented scholars are esteemed; / When the family is wealthy, the young children are indulged. / Everyone extends a single hand; / Neither side yields to the other."
