佛果圜悟禪師碧巖錄 10.5

10.5

Xuedou also said: "If you want the pure breeze to return and head and horns to be reborn, (Everyone has a rhinoceros-horn fan, and throughout the twelve periods of the day they completely derive strength from it. Why is it that when asked they do not know at all? Can you say something?)
I ask the Chan guests each to offer a turning phrase." (Yanguan is still present. It has already turned three times.)
He asked, "Since the fan is broken, bring me back the rhinoceros!" (There is also one or a half. Bah! It would be fine to overturn the Chan seat.)
At the time a monk came forward and said, "Great assembly, go to the hall to participate!" (Drawing the bow after the thief has passed. His spear has been seized. Not reaching a village ahead, not arriving at an inn behind.)
Xuedou gave a shout and said, "I cast a hook to fish for a leviathan or whale, but only caught a frog!" and immediately stepped down from the seat. (Invited him to be like this. Drawing the bow after the thief has passed. Foguo himself examined these words, saying: "I also directly ask you all: When this monk said, 'Great assembly, go to the hall to participate,' did he understand or did he not understand? If he did not understand, how could he speak like that? If you say he understood, Xuedou also said, 'I cast a hook to fish for a leviathan or whale, but only caught a frog,' and immediately stepped down from the seat. Tell me, where is the ambiguity? Please try to investigate and examine it.")
