佛果圜悟禪師碧巖錄 5.12

5.12

[Case 44] A monk asked Dongshan, "When cold and heat arrive, how should one avoid them?" (This is not the season for it. Right over the head and in the face, where is it?)
Dongshan said, "Why not go to the place where there is no cold or heat?" (Everyone under heaven searches for it and cannot find it. Hiding the body and revealing the shadow. Xiao He sold out the fake silver city.)
The monk said, "What is the place where there is no cold or heat?" (He swindles a boatload of people to death. Turning along with him. Once hooked, he is hauled right up.)
Dongshan said, "When it is cold, let the cold kill the ācārya; when it is hot, let the heat kill the ācārya." (The true does not conceal the false; the crooked does not hide the straight. Standing by the cliff watching tigers and rhinos—a special cause for sorrow. Overturning the great sea and kicking down Mount Meru. Tell me, where is Dongshan?)
