佛果圜悟禪師碧巖錄 2.45

2.45

【二〇】舉。龍牙問翠微。如何是祖師西來意（諸方舊話。也要勘過）微云。與我過禪板來（用禪板作什麼。洎合放過。噞）牙過禪板與翠微（也是把不住。駕與青龍不解騎。可惜許。當面不承當）。微接得便打（着。打得箇死漢濟甚事。也落在第二頭了也）牙云。打即任打。要且無祖師西來意（這漢話在第二頭。賊過後張弓）牙又問臨濟。如何是祖師西來意（諸方舊公案。再問將來。不直半文錢）濟云。與我過蒲團來（曹溪波浪如相似。無限平人被陸沈。一狀領過。一坑埋却）牙取蒲團過與臨濟（依前把不住。依前不伶俐。依俙越國。髣髴揚州）濟接得便打（著。可惜打這般死漢。一模脫出）牙云。打即任打。要且無祖師西來意（灼然在鬼窟裏作活計。將謂得便宜。賊過後張弓）。

The main case presents Longya questioning Cuiwei and then Linji about the meaning of Bodhidharma's coming from the West. Both masters ask for an everyday object—a meditation board or a cushion—and immediately strike Longya when he hands it to them, while Longya insists that despite the beatings, there is still no meaning of the ancestral master's coming.
