大慧普覺禪師語錄 8.22

8.22

Instructing the assembly, he cited: "Layman Pang asked his daughter Lingzhao, 'Clearly on the tips of the hundred grasses; clearly the Patriarch's meaning. How do you understand this?' Lingzhao said, 'This old fellow, with white hair and yellow teeth, holds such a view!' The layman said, 'How about you?' Lingzhao said, 'Clearly on the tips of the hundred grasses; clearly the Patriarch's meaning.'" The Master said, "Layman Pang walked ahead but did not arrive; his daughter Lingzhao came behind and went too far. Even if they had walked together and arrived together, had they come to Yunmen, they would have been buried in the same pit. Tell me: where is the fault? Clearly on the tips of the hundred grasses; clearly the Patriarch's meaning."
