### [1.57](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.1.57)

上堂舉。李翱相公問藥山。如何是道。山指天復指淨缾云。會麼。相公云。不會。山云。雲在青天水在缾。師云。雲在青天水在缾。幾人錯認定盤星。藥山八字轟開也。恰到而今話大行。

> Ascending the hall, \[the Master\] cited: Minister Li Ao asked Yaoshan, "What is the Way?"  
> Yaoshan pointed to the sky, then pointed to the water pitcher, and said, "Do you understand?"  
> The Minister said, "I do not understand."  
> Yaoshan said, "Clouds are in the blue sky; water is in the pitcher."  
> The Master said, "Clouds are in the blue sky, water is in the pitcher—how many people mistakenly fix the balance-beam star? Yaoshan blasted it wide open in all eight directions; right up to now, the story has had great currency."
