虛堂和尚語錄 8.46

8.46

上堂：「丁一卓二，無邊剎境，一毫收放兩拈三，萬仞峯頭獨足立。以言不及處，穿透魔王鼻孔，以食未到口，塞斷衲子咽喉。燈籠露柱暗攢眉，木馬石人顛倒走。既有如是妙用、如是奇特，則育王門戶未致寂寥。何故？」擊拂子，云：「後代兒孫休妄想，鷓鴣啼不為春風。」

Ascending the hall: "Striking one and knocking down two; throughout boundless lands, gathered into a single hair and released, taking up two and three; standing on one foot atop a ten-thousand-fathom peak. Where words cannot reach, piercing through the demon king's nostrils; before food reaches the mouth, choking off the patch-robed monk's throat. The lanterns and bare pillars secretly knit their brows; the wooden horse and stone man run upside down. Since there is such wondrous function, such extraordinary wonder, then King Aśoka's gate has not fallen into desolation. Why?" Striking with his whisk, he said: "Let future descendants cease their idle thoughts; the partridge does not call for the spring breeze."
