密菴和尚語錄 1.96

1.96

上堂，舉：「同安察和尚問僧：『甚麼處來？』僧云：『五臺來。』察云：『還見文殊麼？』僧展兩手。察云：『展手頗多，文殊誰覩？』僧云：『氣急殺人。』察云：『不覩雲中雁，焉知沙塞寒？』僧云：『遠趨丈室，乞師一言。』察云：『孫賓門下，徒話鑽龜。』僧云：『名不浪施。』察云：『喫茶去。』僧便珍重。察云：『雖得一場榮，刖却一雙足。』」師云：「拳來拳應，踢來踢應，拳踢交參，孰負孰勝？搖頭擺尾過牢關，刖足之言誰肯信？雖然，有一處誵訛在，諸人試撿點看。」

Ascending the hall, he cited: "Venerable Cha of Tong'an asked a monk, 'Where have you come from?' The monk said, 'I have come from Mount Wutai.' Cha said, 'Did you see Mañjuśrī?' The monk spread out both hands. Cha said, 'Spreading your hands is easy enough, but who has seen Mañjuśrī?' The monk said, 'It is vexing enough to kill someone!' Cha said, 'If one does not see the wild geese amidst the clouds, how can one know the coldness of the desert frontiers?' The monk said, 'Having hurried from afar to your abbot's room, I beg the master for a single word.' Cha said, 'Under the gate of Sun Bin, talk of divining by drilling tortoise shells is in vain.' The monk said, 'Your reputation is not falsely spread.' Cha said, 'Go drink tea.' The monk then took his leave. Cha said, 'Although you gained a round of glory, you had both feet amputated.'" The Master said: "Fist comes and fist responds; kick comes and kick responds. Fist and kick clash and mingle—who loses and who wins? Shaking head and wagging tail, passing through the iron barrier; who is willing to believe the words about amputating the feet? Even so, there is an error in one place. Everyone, try to examine and see."
