大慧普覺禪師宗門武庫 1.29

1.29

Liu Yiweng once studied with Foyin, was rather conceited, and treated Zhenjing with great flippancy. One day, coming from Yunju, he visited Guizong. Arriving at the dharma hall, as soon as he saw Zhenjing he asked, 'How many years has the Elder been writing plays?' Zhenjing said, 'I have been specially waiting for the musician to arrive.' Yiweng said, 'I do not join this guild.' Zhenjing said, 'What can be done about your being right now on this stage?' As Yiweng deliberated, Zhenjing clapped his hands and said, 'Frog Chan can only leap a single leap!' Furthermore, while seated, [Yiweng] pointed at his patched robe and said, 'What do you call this?' Zhenjing said, 'A Chan robe.' Yiweng said, 'What is Chan?' Zhenjing then shook it out and said, 'It cannot be shaken off.' Yiweng had nothing to say. Zhenjing struck him once and said, 'With tricks like this, do you want to test this old monk?'
