佛果圜悟禪師碧巖錄 3.26

3.26

[Case 26] Case: A monk asked Baizhang, "What is an extraordinary thing?" (Sound within speech. Revealing dynamic function within the phrase. Startling one to death. Having eyes, one has never seen it.)
Baizhang said, "Sitting alone on Great Hero Peak." (A chilling, awe-inspiring demeanor over four hundred prefectures. The one sitting and the one standing are both defeated and broken.)
The monk bowed. (A nimble patch-robed monk. There are also people like this. Wanting to see such a thing.)
Baizhang struck him. (An expert lineage master! Why are the coming words not rich? An authentic imperative is not carried out in vain.)
