虛堂和尚語錄 9.18

9.18

Ascending the hall, he cited: "Yunmen instructed the assembly: 'The three vehicles and twelve divisions of the teachings, and Bodhidharma coming from the West—to let them pass is unacceptable.' Later, Great Master Xuedou cited this, immediately followed with a shout, and said: 'Assembly! Where does this fine shout land? If you want your nostrils to face the heavens, you must distinguish this single shout.'" He brought it up and said: "The two great beings inherited the family style, but did not realize there was a place of leakage. Jingshan is not so: if you want your nostrils to face the heavens, you must eliminate this single shout."
