佛果圜悟禪師碧巖錄 10.43

10.43

The crowd of the Chan school (Lacquer buckets. Accepting the entire indictment.) / Loves flippancy. (There is also a bit of this. Berating Buddhas and cursing ancestral masters, thick as hemp and millet.) / A bellyful of study, yet useless when applied. (Only suitable when having a use. A square peg does not fit a round hole. The ācārya was a fellow student with him.) / Lamentable, laughable, old Tianping— (The patch-robed monks of the world cannot leap out. Not fearing bystanders knitting their brows, he also causes people to be dull and depressed.) / Who then said that from the beginning he regretted his itinerant pilgrimage! (Before going on itinerant pilgrimage, already it was wrong. Treading through straw sandals—for what can they be used? Wiped out with a single stroke of the brush.) / Wrong, wrong! (What is it? Xuedou has already mistakenly applied terms and words.) / The pure breeze of Xiyuan was suddenly extinguished! (Where is Xiyuan? What is it like? Not to mention Xiyuan—the Buddhas of the three periods and the old Venerables throughout the world must also step backward three thousand [leagues] before they can get it. If you understand here, I permit you to walk freely throughout the world.)
