If suddenly the tree falls and the wisteria withers, where do the phrases return?' (Those who accept words are lost; those who stagnate on phrases are deluded.) Guishan laughed heartily with a 'ha-ha!' (Where Yu's strength could not reach, the sound of the River flows westward.) Shushan said, 'I sold my cloth quilt and traveled four thousand leagues to come here; how can the Venerable make fun of me?' (Have you repaid your straw-sandal money yet?) Guishan called to the attendant: 'Get some money to pay back this elder!' (Ill-gotten wealth is to me like floating clouds.) He then instructed him, saying, 'Hereafter, there will be a one-eyed dragon who will point it out and break it through for you.' (There are another four thousand leagues to go.) Later, he went to Mingzhao and raised the former words. (One guest troubles two hosts.) Mingzhao said, 'Guishan may be said to be correct from head to tail, but he simply had not met an intimate friend.' (Naturally, the well-rope is short; it has nothing to do with the ancient well being deep.) Shushan asked again, 'If the tree falls and the wisteria withers, where do the phrases return?' (Coming again like this!) Mingzhao said, 'You cause Guishan's laughter to turn ever fresher.' (Drawing on the ground with someone else's fist.) At these words, Shushan had an awakening (He repaid the debt of his cloth quilt.) and thereupon said, 'After all, Guishan had a dagger concealed in his laughter!' (Only now does he feel the skin broken and see the blood.) > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2004.6.27) - [Next: 6.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2004.6.29) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2004.6) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2004~en-mt.6.28) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [宏智禪師廣錄](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.2.179) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2004.6.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2004.6.28) · Pramāṇa
