### [1.122](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.1.122)

上堂，舉：「大愚辭歸宗，宗云：『爾向甚處去？』愚云：『諸方學五味禪去。』宗云：『我者裡有一味禪，為甚不學？』愚云：『如何是和尚一味禪？』宗便打，愚云：『我會也。』宗云：『道來看。』愚擬開口，宗又打。」師云：「是則是，青出於藍而青於藍。若其交鋒之際，氷生於水寒於水，則未可也。」

> Ascending the hall, he cited: "Dayu took leave of Guizong. Zong said, 'Where are you going?' Yu said, 'Going to various places to study the five flavors of Chan.' Zong said, 'I have here a single flavor of Chan; why do you not study it?' Yu said, 'What is the upādhyāya's single flavor of Chan?' Zong immediately struck him. Yu said, 'I understand!' Zong said, 'Speak, let me see!' As Yu prepared to open his mouth, Zong struck him again." The Master said, "Though this is so—blue comes from indigo yet is bluer than indigo—yet when it comes to crossing swords, ice comes from water yet is colder than water; that will not do."
