萬松老人評唱天童覺和尚頌古從容庵錄 1.142

1.142

Case: Dizang asked Mountain Master Xiu, 'Where do you come from?' (Can one say one does not know the place of origin?) Xiu said, 'I come from the south.' (A good burden to lay down.) Dizang said, 'How is the Buddha Dharma in the south these days?' (Going along speaking good words.) Xiu said, 'Discussions are surging and roaring.' (Lower your voice!) Dizang said, 'How can that compare to my planting fields here to barter for rice to eat?' (Show off less.) Xiu said, 'What can be done about the triple realm?' (There is still this present.) Dizang said, 'What do you call the triple realm?' (The south is still passable; the north is even more sunbaked.)
