佛果圜悟禪師碧巖錄 4.2

4.2

Case 31: Magu, holding his tin staff, went to Zhangjing. He circled the meditation seat three times, shook his staff once, and stood there upright. (Poured straight out from the Caoxi mold! It truly shocks heaven and shakes earth.)
Zhangjing said, "Right, right." (Washing a lump of mud in mud. He misleads a whole boatload of people. What kind of talk is that? A hitching post for a donkey.)
Xuedou added the remark: "Wrong." (Letting it pass is not permissible. There is still a move left to play.)
Magu then went to Nanquan, circled the meditation seat three times, shook his staff once, and stood there upright. (Just as before, washing a lump of mud in mud. Dragged out once again. A shrimp jumping cannot get out of the bushel.)
Nanquan said, "Wrong, wrong." (Why didn't he acknowledge it? Killing a person without blinking an eye. What kind of talk is that?)
Xuedou added the remark: "Wrong." (Letting it pass is not permissible.)
Magu then said, "Zhangjing said 'right'; why do you say 'wrong', Ven. Master?" (Where is the master of the house? It turns out this fellow grasps people's tongues. He has leaked and fallen into error.)
Nanquan said, "Zhangjing was right, but you are wrong." (Good, too! When killing a person you must see blood; when aiding a person you must be thorough. How many people has this fooled?)
"This is stirred up by the power of the wind; in the end it comes to ruin." (Sure enough, he was ensnared by him. What can he do about himself?)
