### [4.26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.4.26)

上堂僧問。如何是祖佛不敢近底人。師云。華嶽連天碧。進云。如何是鬼神不能惻底人。師云。黃河輥底流。進云。如是則西風能墮葉。明月解隨流。師云。作麼生是衲僧殺活杖子。進云。和尚何得掩耳偷鈴。師云。斫額望扶桑。

> Ascending the hall, a monk asked, "What is the person whom ancestors and Buddhas dare not approach?" The Master said, "Mount Hua connects with the blue of heaven." The monk continued, "What is the person whom ghosts and spirits cannot fathom?" The Master said, "The Yellow River rolls along its bed." The monk continued, "If so, then the west wind can drop the leaves, and the bright moon can follow the current." The Master said, "What is the patch-robed monk's staff of killing and reviving?" The monk continued, "Why does the Preceptor cover his ears to steal a bell?" The Master said, "Shielding the forehead, gazing toward Fusang."
