5.16

【四四】舉。禾山垂語云。習學謂之聞。絕學謂之隣（天下衲僧跳不出。無孔鐵鎚一箇鐵橛子）過此二者。是為真過（頂門上具一隻眼作什麼）僧出問。如何是真過（道什麼。一筆勾下。有一箇鐵橛子）山云。解打鼓（鐵橛。鐵蒺藜。確確）又問。如何是真諦（道什麼。兩重公案。又有一箇鐵橛子）山云。解打鼓（鐵橛。鐵蒺藜。確確）又問。即心即佛即不問。如何是非心非佛（道什麼。這箇坵圾堆。三段不同。又一箇鐵蒺藜子）山云。解打鼓（鐵橛。鐵蒺藜。確確）又問。向上人來時如何接（道什麼。遭他第四杓惡水來也。又有一箇鐵橛子）山云。解打鼓（鐵橛。鐵蒺藜。確確。且道落在什麼處。朝到西天暮歸東土）。

[Case 44] Heshan gave instruction, saying: "Practicing study is called hearing; ending study is called neighborliness. (Patch-robed monks of the world cannot leap out. An iron hammer without a hole, an iron stake.) / Surpassing these two is true surpassing." (What is having an eye on the top of the head for?)
A monk came forward and asked, "What is true surpassing?" (What are you saying? Cancelled with a single stroke. There is an iron stake.)
Heshan said, "Knowing how to beat the drum." (An iron stake. Iron caltrops. Solid and firm.)
He asked again, "What is the ultimate truth?" (What are you saying? A double gong'an. There is another iron stake.)
Heshan said, "Knowing how to beat the drum." (An iron stake. Iron caltrops. Solid and firm.)
He asked again, "'Mind itself is Buddha' is not what I ask; what is 'neither mind nor Buddha'?" (What are you saying? This rubbish heap. Three different sections. Another iron caltrop.)
Heshan said, "Knowing how to beat the drum." (An iron stake. Iron caltrops. Solid and firm.)
He asked again, "When a transcendent person arrives, how do you receive him?" (What are you saying? Meeting his fourth ladle of foul water. There is another iron stake.)
Heshan said, "Knowing how to beat the drum." (An iron stake. Iron caltrops. Solid and firm. Tell me, where does it fall? Morning arriving in the Western Heaven, evening returning to the Eastern Land.)
