佛果圜悟禪師碧巖錄 8.39

8.39

[79] Case: A monk asked Touzi, "'All sounds are Buddha sounds'—is this so or not?" (He also knows how to stroke the tiger's whiskers. A thunderbolt in a clear sky! He does not smell his own shit.) Touzi said, "It is." (Leading a boatload of people to their death! He has sold his body to you. Cast aside to one side—what sort of mindset is this?) The monk said, "The Venerable should not make the sound of farting or boiling bowls ringing." (He only sees the sharpness of the awl's point, but does not see the squareness of the chisel's head. What is he saying? Truly accepting defeat!) Touzi then struck him. (Hit! A good blow. Letting him off is unacceptable.) The monk asked again, "'Coarse words and fine speech all return to the paramārtha'—is this so or not?" (Stroking the tiger's whiskers a second time! Why cry grievance while holding the stolen goods? East, west, south, and north—there is still a shadow.) Touzi said, "It is." (Again he has sold his body to you. The mechanism for trapping a tiger. What sort of mindset is this again?) The monk said, "May one call the Venerable a donkey?" (He only sees the sharpness of the awl's point, but does not see the squareness of the chisel's head. Although there are waves running against the current, he simply has no horns on his head. Spitting blood on someone!) Touzi then struck him. (Hit! He must not be let off. A good blow! Before the staff broke, why did he just stop?) Du (pronounced dū; meaning buttocks).
