佛果圜悟禪師碧巖錄 6.35

6.35

[58] Case: A monk asked Zhaozhou, "'The Supreme Way is not difficult; it only dislikes picking and choosing.' Is this the nest of people of the time?" (A double gong'an. This is also where people doubt. Treading on a steelyard weight, hard as iron. There is still this? Do not hinder others with yourself.) Zhaozhou said, "Once someone asked me, and it directly took five years without being resolved." (A red face is not as good as straight speech. A monkey eating caterpillars; a mosquito biting an iron ox.)
