### [1.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.1.40)

大洪忌日。上堂僧問。如何是洪山的的意。師云。昔年記得。而今忘却。進云。可謂是金鷄朝抱卵。玉兔夜懷胎。師云。三級浪高魚化龍。癡人猶戽夜塘水。師乃舉。洞山問雲巖。百年後忽有人。問邈得師真。向他道什麼。雲巖良久云。祇這是。山佇思。巖云。价闍梨。承當此事也大難。他後須是子細。山便辭去。後雲巖忌日。洞山掛真僧問。雲巖道祇這是。未審。還知有也無。山云。若不知有。爭解恁麼道。若知有爭肯恁麼道。師云。老婆心腸。蓋是養兒之道。衲僧手段。還他奪父之機。知恩報恩。句中宛轉。似肯不肯。量外提撕。箇是洞山底。或有人問普照邈得師真。對他道什麼。良久云。心不負人。面無慚色。

> On the memorial day of Dahong, ascending the hall, a monk asked, "What is the precise meaning of Hongshan?"  
> The Master said, "In former years I remembered; now I have forgotten."  
> He went on to ask, "Might one call it: 'The golden rooster broods on the egg in the morning; the jade hare carries the fetus in the night'?"  
> The Master said, "Three tiers of waves rise high and the fish becomes a dragon; a foolish man still bails out the night pond's water."  
> The Master then cited: Dongshan asked Yunyan, "A hundred years hence, if someone suddenly asks, 'Can you depict the Master's true \[likeness\]?', what will you say to him?"  
> Yunyan was silent for a good while and said, "Just this is it."  
> Dongshan paused in thought.  
> Yunyan said, "Ācārya Jie, taking charge of this matter is indeed very difficult; in the future you must be meticulous."  
> Dongshan then took his leave and departed.  
> Later, on Yunyan's memorial day, Dongshan hung up his portrait. A monk asked, "Yunyan said, 'Just this is it.' I wonder: did he still know of there being \[anything else\] or not?"  
> Dongshan said, "If he did not know of there being \[anything\], how could he understand how to speak like that? If he did know of there being \[anything\], how would he consent to speak like that?"  
> The Master said, "A grandmotherly mind is indeed the way to nurture a child; the tactic of a patch-robed monk is really the occasion to seize his father.  
> Knowing kindness and repaying kindness, subtle and winding within the phrase; seeming to consent yet not consenting, bringing it up beyond measure—this is Dongshan's affair.  
> Were someone to ask Puzhao, 'Can you depict the Master's true \[likeness\]?', what would I say to him?"  
> After a good while, he said, "The mind does not fail others; the face shows no shame."
