萬松老人評唱天童覺和尚頌古從容庵錄 3.115

3.115

Case:
Fayan asked Senior Monk Jue, "Did you come by boat or come by land?" (Much like there being two kinds.)
Jue said, "Came by boat." (Deeply discourses on the true mark, skillfully expounds the essential Dharma.)
Fayan said, "Where is the boat?" (Fearing it is not real.)
Jue said, "The boat is in the river." (Sure enough, there is a place it settles.)
After Jue withdrew, Fayan then asked a bystander monk, "Tell me, did that monk just now possess eyes or not possess eyes?" (What a pity!)
