虛堂和尚語錄 3.40

3.40

While picking tea, the upādhyāya of Qingliang arrived. Ascending the hall, a monk asked: "While picking tea, Guishan asked Yangshan: 'All day long I only hear your voice, but do not see your form.' Yangshan shook the tea bush. What is the meaning?" The Master said: "Money leaves the house of one in haste." The monk said: "Guishan said: 'You have obtained only its function, not its essence.'" The Master said: "Going out the gate, there is no need for repeated admonitions." The monk said: "Yangshan said: 'I wonder what the upādhyāya would do?' Guishan remained silent for a good while. Yangshan said: 'The upādhyāya has obtained only its essence, not its function.'" The Master said: "The son conceals for the father." The monk said: "Guishan said: 'I let you off twenty blows.'" The Master said: "An arm never bends outward."
