宏智禪師廣錄 4.114

4.114

上堂舉。長沙一日看大佛名經。有一秀才問云。百千諸佛。但見其名。未審。居何國土。沙云。黃鶴樓崔顥題後。秀才還曾題未。秀曰未曾。沙曰。無事也好題取一首。師云。無事題取一首。我儂不落他人後。略略綽綽思大口。醇醇釅釅白家酒。醉中猶道未沾唇。被人問著還打手。不打手。三年一閏冬後數九。

Ascending the hall, [he] cited: One day Changsha was reading the Sūtra of Great Buddha Names. A scholar asked, "The names of the hundreds of thousands of buddhas are seen, but I wonder, what lands do they dwell in?" Changsha said, "After Cui Hao wrote his poem on the Yellow Crane Tower, did you ever write a poem, scholar?" The scholar said, "I have not." Changsha said, "When you have nothing to do, it would be fine to compose one." The Master said: When having nothing to do, compose one! / I do not fall behind others. / Carefree and unconstrained, thinking of the great gulp; / Mellow and thick, the Bai family wine. / While drunk, still claiming lips have not been moistened; / When asked by someone, waving the hand again. / Not waving the hand: / An intercalary month every three years; counting nine after the winter [solstice].
