佛果圜悟禪師碧巖錄 2.45

2.45

The main case presents Longya questioning Cuiwei and then Linji about the meaning of Bodhidharma's coming from the West. Both masters ask for an everyday object—a meditation board or a cushion—and immediately strike Longya when he hands it to them, while Longya insists that despite the beatings, there is still no meaning of the ancestral master's coming.
