宏智禪師廣錄 4.151

4.151

育王聰和尚遺書至上堂舉。禾山示眾云。習學謂之問。絕學謂之隣。過此二者。是為真過。時有僧。出云。如何是真過。山云。解打鼓。師云。禾山老漢。趁箇時節。得做便做。育王禪師。趁箇時節。得休便休。所以不打這破鼓。諸禪德。正恁麼撒手便行時。且道。落在甚麼處。良久云。岸頭老碧蘆含雪。溪上寒清水有秋。

Ascending the hall upon the arrival of the posthumous letter of Venerable Cong of Yuwang, he cited: Heshan instructed the assembly, saying: 'Practicing and learning is called questioning; ending learning is called proximity. Surpassing these two is true transcending.' At that time a monk came forward and asked, 'What is true transcending?' Heshan said, 'Knowing how to beat the drum.' The Master said: Old man Heshan seized the occasion—when able to act, he simply acted. Chan Master Yuwang seized the occasion—when able to rest, he simply rested. Therefore, he did not beat this broken drum. Venerable Zen worthies! Just when letting go of the hands and walking away, tell me: where did he alight? After a good while, he said: At the shore, the aged green reeds hold snow; / On the stream, the cold, clear water holds autumn.
