佛果圜悟禪師碧巖錄 6.16

6.16

【五四】舉。雲門問僧近離甚處（不可也道西禪。探竿影草。不可道東西南北）僧云。西禪（果然。可殺實頭。當時好與本分草料）門云。西禪近日有何言句（欲舉恐驚和尚。深辨來風。也似和尚相似寐語）僧展兩手（敗闕了也。勾賊破家。不妨令人疑著）門打一掌（據令而行。好打。快便難逢）僧云。某甲話在（爾待要翻欵那。却似有攙旗奪鼓底手脚）門却展兩手（嶮駕與青龍不解騎）僧無語（可惜）門便打（不可放過。此棒合是雲門喫。何故。當斷不斷返招其亂。闍黎合喫多少。放過一著。若不放過合作麼生）。

[Case 54] Case: Yunmen asked a monk, "Where have you recently left?" (You must not also say Xishan. A probing pole and shadowing grass. You must not say east, west, south, north.) / The monk said, "Xishan." (Sure enough. Extremely honest. At that moment he should have been given his proper measure of fodder.) / Men said, "What words and phrases have there been at Xishan recently?" (I would cite them, but I fear startling the Reverend. Deeply discerning the incoming wind. It is also like the Reverend's sleep-talking.) / The monk spread both hands. (Ruined! Colluding with bandits and destroying the household. It certainly arouses people's suspicion.) / Men struck him a blow with his palm. (Acting according to the authentic imperative. A good blow. Such speed is rare to encounter.) / The monk said, "I have words to say!" (Do you want to overturn the confession? It seems you have the skill to seize the flag and take the drum.) / Men then spread both hands. (Perilous! He gives him the azure dragon, but he cannot ride it.) / The monk was speechless. (A pity!) / Men then struck him. (He must not let him off. This blow of the staff should have been taken by Yunmen. Why? If you do not sever when it is time to sever, on the contrary you invite disorder. How many should the Ācārya have received? Let him off by one move. If not letting him off, what should be done?)
