佛果圜悟禪師碧巖錄 8.22

8.22

Summoning is easy; / (The people of the world all doubt it. Smelly meat attracts flies. The patch-robed monks of the world totally do not know where it lands.)
Dismissing is hard. / (Exceedingly sharp and decisive; excellent and eminent on the sea.)
Examine closely the dynamic sharpness of reciprocal interchange: / (One exiting and one entering; both are craftsmen. One staff supported by two people. Tell me, on whose side is it?)
Though the kalpa-stone is solid, it can still be destroyed; / (How will you discern the golden mallet in the sleeve? The thousand sages do not transmit it.)
The deep place of the vast ocean instantly goes dry. / (Where will you arrange it? The staff's head has eyes; he alone is granted to attain it intimately.)
Old Wujiu! Old Wujiu! / (What a pity! This old fellow does not know good from bad.)
How manifold are his manners! / (He too is an unprovoked fellow; hundreds, thousands, myriads of layers.)
Giving him the ladle handle was too unprovoked! / (Already before words. Almost breaking through Caizhou. He deserves thirty blows of the staff. Tell me: where is his fault?)
