2.159

上堂，僧問：「望見資福剎竿便回，脚跟下好與三十，此意如何？」師云：「臭肉來蠅。」僧云：「望見雪峯，便參主事，又作麼生？」師云：「何樓漆器休拈出。」僧云：「望見寶林雙楊塔尖，便悟去。」師云：「沙裏淘金。」僧云：「和尚也是年老心孤。」師云：「宣人之過，未為好手。」

Ascending the hall, a monk asked: "Catching sight of the banner pole of Zifu, he turned back; under his heels, he deserved thirty blows. What is the meaning of this?" The Master said: "Rotten meat attracts flies." The monk said: "Catching sight of Xuefeng, he immediately called upon the administrative monks. How about that?" The Master said: "Do not bring out the Helou lacquerware." The monk said: "Catching sight of the twin poplar stupa spire of Baolin, he was immediately enlightened." The Master said: "Panning for gold in sand." The monk said: "The upādhyāya is also old in years and lonely in heart." The Master said: "Proclaiming another's fault is not the mark of a skilled hand."
