萬松老人評唱天童覺和尚頌古從容庵錄 1.112

1.112

舉藥山久不陞座（動不如靜）院主白云。大眾久思示誨。請和尚為眾說法（便重不便輕）山令打鐘。眾方集（聚頭作相那事悠悠）山陞座良久便下座歸方丈（一場話霸）主隨後問。和尚適來許為眾說法。云何不垂一言（大海若知足百川應倒流）山云。經有經師。論有論師。爭怪得老僧（可惜龍頭蛇尾）。

Case: Yaoshan had not ascended the seat for a long time. (Movement is not as good as stillness.)
The monastery director announced, "The great assembly has long yearned for instruction and guidance. Please, Venerable, preach the Dharma for the assembly." (Attaching weight to what is heavy, not to what is light.)
Yaoshan ordered the bell to be struck; when the assembly had gathered, (Heads gathered, forming appearances; that matter is far and away.)
Yaoshan ascended the seat, remained for a good while, then descended the seat and returned to the abbot's quarters. (A complete stoppage of talk.)
The director followed after him and asked, "Just now the Venerable consented to preach the Dharma for the assembly; why did you not offer a single word?" (If the great ocean knew satisfaction, the hundred rivers would flow backward.)
Yaoshan said, "For the sūtras there are sūtra masters; for the treatises there are treatise masters. How can you blame this old monk?" (Pity that it has a dragon's head and a snake's tail!)
