虛堂和尚語錄 9.42

9.42

He also cited: "When the lecturer Liangsuì visited Upādhyāya Magu, as soon as Magu saw him coming, he picked up a hoe and went into the vegetable garden without paying him any attention. When Liangsuì visited again, Magu shut the gate. Liangsuì knocked on the gate. Magu said: 'Who is it?' Liangsuì had barely answered when he was suddenly enlightened, saying: 'Upādhyāya, it is best not to deceive Liangsuì! If I had not come to see the upādhyāya, I would have been misled for a lifetime by the sūtras and treatises.' Later he announced to the assembly: 'What Liangsuì knows, you all do not know; what you all know, Liangsuì knows it all.' A verse says: / 'What you all know, Liangsuì knows; / What Liangsuì knows, no one knows. / Recalling the tangled blossoms after persistent rains, / In vain I pour out my sorrowful belly—to whom can I speak?'"
