佛果圜悟禪師碧巖錄 4.46

4.46

Case: Grand Councilor Lu Gen was conversing with Nanquan. Lu said, “Master Zhao said, ‘Heaven and earth share the same root with me; the myriad things are of one body with me.’ This is truly extraordinary.” (Making a livelihood in a ghost cave; a painted rice cake cannot satisfy hunger; this too is deliberating in the grass.)
Nanquan pointed to a flower in the courtyard (Why speak like this? Bah! For sūtras there are sūtra masters; for śāstras there are śāstra masters; it does not concern this mountain monk. Bah! If a great man had produced a turning word at that moment, not only would he have cut off Nanquan, he would also have vented the outrage of the patch-robed monks of the world.)
and called to the Grand Councilor, saying, “People of the time see this single stalk of flower as though in a dream.” (Once the mandarin ducks are embroidered, let anyone look; do not pass the golden needle to others. Do not talk in your sleep; you lure the yellow oriole down to the willow twig.)
