密菴和尚語錄 1.303

1.303

天童得力句，不搖三寸舌，父母未生前，令已行摩竭。直下便承當，敢保猶未徹，放下百不知，腦門重著楔。唯是過量人，一拳無二說。

Tiantong's effective phrase
did not move three inches of tongue.
Before father and mother were born,
the command had already been carried out in Magadha.
Directly bear responsibility for it,
yet I dare say you are not yet thoroughly clear.
Put down everything and know nothing;
a wedge is driven into your forehead again.
Only a person of extraordinary capacity
needs no second explanation for a single fist.
