佛果圜悟禪師碧巖錄 3.22

3.22

【二五】舉。蓮花峯庵主。拈拄杖示眾云（看。頂門上具一隻眼。也是時人窠窟）古人到這裏。為什麼不肯住（不可向虛空裏釘橛。權立化城）眾無語（千箇萬箇如麻似粟。却較些子。可惜許。一棚俊鶻）自代云。為他途路不得力（若向途中辨。猶爭半月程。設使得力堪作什麼。豈可全無一箇）復云。畢竟如何（千人萬人只向箇裏坐却。千人萬人中一箇兩箇會）又自代云。楖𣗖橫擔不顧人。直入千峯萬峯去（也好與三十棒。只為他擔板。腦後見腮。莫與往來）。

[Case 25] Case: The Hermit of Lotus Flower Peak held up his staff and showed it to the assembly, saying: (Look! On the crown of his head he possesses a single eye; this too is a nest of the people of the time.) / “When ancient people reached here, why were they unwilling to stay?” (One must not drive stakes into empty space; provisionally erecting a conjured city.) / The assembly was silent. (Thousands and myriads like hemp and millet. That’s a bit better; what a pity, a flock of handsome falcons!) / He spoke in their place: “Because on the road they had no purchase.” (If you discern on the road, there is still half a month’s journey at stake. Even if they had purchase, what would it be good for? How could there be entirely none?) / He said again: “Ultimately, what about it?” (Thousands and myriads just sit down right here; among thousands and myriads, one or two understand.) / And again spoke in their place: “Carrying his staff horizontally across his shoulders, paying no regard to anyone, he goes straight into the thousands and myriads of peaks!” (It would be fitting to give him thirty blows of the staff. Just because he carries a board, cheeks visible from behind the head, do not associate with him!).
