1.26

翠巖真點胸,嘗罵舜老夫說無事禪,石霜永和尚令人傳語真云:「舜在洞山悟古鏡因緣如此,豈是說無事禪?爾罵他,自失却一隻眼。」舜聞之作頌云:「雲居不會禪,洗脚上床眠,冬瓜直儱侗,瓠子曲彎彎。」永和尚亦作頌曰:「石霜不會禪,洗脚上床眠,枕子撲落地,打破常住甎。」舜一日上堂云:「黃昏後脫𮧬打睡,晨朝起來,旋打行纏,夜來風吹籬倒,普請奴子劈筏縛起。」下座。

Cuiyan Zhen of the Pointing Chest once reviled the old fellow Shun for preaching Chan of no-affairs. Reverend Shishuang Yong sent someone to convey a message to Zhen, saying: 'Shun's awakening to the ancient mirror story at Dongshan was like that; how could he be preaching Chan of no-affairs? In reviling him, you have lost an eye yourself.' When Shun heard this, he composed a verse, saying: 'Yunju does not understand Chan; / He washes his feet, gets into bed, and sleeps. / The winter melon is completely straight and round; / The gourd is curved and crooked.' Reverend Yong also composed a verse, saying: 'Shishuang does not understand Chan; / He washes his feet, gets into bed, and sleeps. / The pillow clatters to the ground, / Smashing the brick of the permanent property.' One day, Shun ascended the hall and said: 'After dusk I take off my socks and sleep; / Rising in the morning, I wind on my gaiters. / Last night the wind blew the fence down; / I summon all the laborers to split bamboo rafts and bind it up.' He then stepped down from the seat.
