佛果圜悟禪師碧巖錄 2.14

2.14

Old Xinkai (Easy to find a thousand troops, hard to find one general. A chatterbox of a master!) / Is genuinely distinctive. (What is the genuine? A move atop the crown. Have you even dreamed of it?) / / He is capable of saying, "Snow piled in a silver bowl." (A shrimp cannot jump out of a bushel. A double gong'an. How many people lose their bodies and forfeit their lives?) / The ninety-six should know for themselves. (Including his own body inside. Does the ācārya know yet? Buried together in one pit.) / / If they do not know, then ask the moon at the edge of the sky. (Far, far away! Take yourself out. Pleading empty space.) / / The Deva school, the Deva school! (What did he say? The mountain monk is right here. A mouth full of frost.) / / Beneath the red banner, a pure wind arises. (Shattered to a hundred bits. Hitting, he says: Already hit! You go lop off your head and sever your arms, and then come back, and I will say a phrase for you.)
