虛堂和尚語錄 6.76

6.76

He cited: "Upādhyāya Yong of Baoying, because a monk asked, 'Where have the sages from antiquity gone?' Baoying said, 'If not ascending to the heavens, then entering hell.' The monk said, 'And what about the upādhyāya?' Baoying said, 'Do you know where this old fellow Baoying ends up?' As the monk hesitated, Baoying struck him across the mouth with his whisk, called him forward again, and said, 'This command ought to be executed by you!' and struck him again with the whisk."
