萬松老人評唱天童覺和尚頌古從容庵錄 3.6

3.6

Case: Sansheng asked Xuefeng, 'The golden fish that has passed through the net—I wonder, what does it take for food?'
(Without waiting for the line to be cast, it takes the hook of itself)
Feng said, 'Wait until you come out of the net, then I will tell you.'
(When meeting someone, just speak three-tenths of the words)
Sheng said, 'The good friend of fifteen hundred people, yet you do not even recognize the turning word!'
(The prophecy of enlightenment on Spirit Mountain was not even like today's)
Feng said, 'This old monk's administrative duties as abbot are manifold.'
(His cheekbones can be seen from behind his head)
