大慧普覺禪師語錄 5.13

5.13

Ascending the hall, [the Master] brought up: "One day, while Yangshan and Lanan were watching the rain, An said, 'Good rain, Master Ji.' Yangshan said, 'Where is it good?' An was speechless. Yangshan said, 'I, on the contrary, can say.' An said, 'Where is it good?' Yangshan pointed with his finger to the rain, and An then rested." The Master said, "One person only knew to watch the rain; one person only knew to point to the rain. Examining them closely, it is much like driving in a stake to rock an oar. Had Yuwang been there at that time, waiting for him to say 'Where is it good?', I would only have said to him: 'It drips through your eyes, it soaks and rots your nostrils.' Were a patch-robed monk to come forward and say, 'Yuwang is also driving in a stake to rock an oar,' I would concede that he possesses the eye."
