佛果圜悟禪師碧巖錄 2.2

2.2

[11] Case: Huangbo instructed the assembly, saying (Beating the water hinders the basin. Swallowed down whole in a single gulp. The world's patch-robed monks cannot leap out.), 'All of you people are dreg-slurpers! Walking on pilgrimage like this (Spoken accurately. Treading through straw sandals. Upending heaven and shaking the earth.), where can there be a today? (What use is "today"? It certainly startles the crowd and stirs the assembly.) Do you even know that in all the great empire of Tang there are no Chan masters?' (This old monk does not understand. Swallowed down whole in a single gulp. An arhat of Yunju indeed.) At that time a monk came forward and said, 'What about those in various quarters who gather disciples and lead assemblies?' (Good to give him a squeeze. Facing the dynamic function, one cannot help but do so.) Huangbo said, 'I do not say there is no Chan, only that there are no masters.' (Straightaway he cannot explain it away. Tiles crumble and ice melts. A dragon's head and snake's tail fellow.)
