虛堂和尚語錄 8.74

8.74

He cited again: "Upādhyāya Wuzu Yan said: 'Mine here is leather-basket Chan: when dropped from empty space, it still bounces a few times, unlike the glass-jar Chan of other places.'" The Master said: "Wuzu was an old hand with old shoulders; Jingci's chicken-skin drum needs no heavy beat. Some fellows might say: 'Xutang is old and his heart is lonely.' Little do they know: the rich begrudge a thousand mouths as too few; the poor resent having even a single body."
