佛果圜悟禪師碧巖錄 4.45

4.45

垂示云。休去歇去。鐵樹開花。有麼有麼黠兒落。節。直饒七縱八橫。不免穿他鼻孔。且道誵訛在什麼處。試舉看。

The pointer says: Ceasing and resting, the iron tree blossoms. Is there any? Is there any? The clever lad loses his footing. Even if he traverses seven times vertically and eight times horizontally, he cannot avoid having his nostrils pierced. Tell me: where is the hitch? Try to bring it up and see.
