大慧普覺禪師宗門武庫 1.6

1.6

The old fellow Yunju Shun frequently derided Chan Master Tianyi Huai for teaching "tangled-vines Chan." One day, hearing that Huai had passed away, he clasped his hands in the dharma hall and said, "How joyful that the stake of tangled vines has toppled!" Xiu Yuantong, who was serving as karmadāna in the assembly at the time, seeing him constantly scolding and railing without end, said to his peers, "I must have a confrontation with this old fellow." When the night informal gathering came, Shun scolded and railed as before. Xiu stepped out from the assembly and shouted in a stern voice, "Have you not seen what is said in the Sutra of Perfect Enlightenment?" Shun immediately said, "You have stood long, assembly; take good care of yourselves!" He then returned to the abbot's quarters. Xiu said, "This old fellow has eyes all over his body; he is truly fit to scold Master Huai!"
