大明高僧傳 5.32

5.32

釋雲辯姑蘇人。初依瑞峯章公得度。旋謁穹窿圓和尚忽有所得遂通所見。圓曰。子雖得入未至當也。切宜著鞭。乃辭扣圓悟。值入室纔踵門。悟遽曰。看脚下。辯打露柱一下。悟曰。何不著實道取一句。辯曰。師若搖頭某便擺尾。悟曰。爾試擺尾看。辯翻筋斗而出。悟大笑。由是知名。住後僧問。如何是奪人不奪境。曰霸王到烏江。僧曰。如何是奪境不奪人。曰築壇拜將。僧曰。如何是人境兩俱奪。曰萬里山河獲太平。僧曰。如何是人境俱不奪。曰龍吟霧起虎嘯風生。僧曰。向上還有事也無。曰當面蹉過。僧曰。真個作家。曰白日鬼迷人。

Śramaṇa Shi Yunbian was a native of Gusu. At first he was ordained under Master Zhang of Ruifeng. Soon after, he visited Master Qionglong Yuan, where he suddenly had an attainment and conveyed his insight. Yuan said, "Though you have gained entry, you have not yet hit the mark. You must urgently apply the whip." Thereupon he took his leave to inquire of Yuanwu. It happened to be time for entering the room; just as he stepped over the threshold, Yuanwu sharply said, "Look beneath your feet!" Bian struck an exposed pillar once. Yuanwu said, "Why not say a solid word?" Bian said, "If the master shakes his head, I will wag my tail." Yuanwu said, "Try wagging your tail and let me see." Bian did a somersault and went out. Yuanwu laughed heartily. From this he became famous. After he became abbot, a monk asked, "What is 'snatching away the person but not snatching away the environment'?" He said, "The Hegemon-King arrives at the Wu River." The monk asked, "What is 'snatching away the environment but not snatching away the person'?" He said, "Building an altar to appoint the general." The monk asked, "What is 'snatching away both person and environment'?" He said, "Ten thousand miles of mountains and rivers attain grand peace." The monk asked, "What is 'snatching away neither person nor environment'?" He said, "The dragon roars and mists rise; the tiger whistles and the wind is born." The monk asked, "Is there still anything beyond?" He said, "Missed right before your face." The monk said, "Truly an adept!" He said, "A ghost bewitching people in broad daylight."
