鄂州茱萸山和尚。初住隋州護國院為第一世。金輪可觀和尚問。如何是道。師云。莫向虛空裏釘橛。觀云。虛空是橛。師乃打之。觀捉住云。莫打某甲。已後錯打人在。師便休（雲居錫云。此人具眼不具眼。因什麼著打）趙州諗和尚先到雲居。雲居問曰。老老大大漢何不覓箇住處。諗曰。什麼處住得。雲居曰。山前有古寺基。諗曰。和尚自住取。後到師處。師曰。老老大大漢何不住去。諗曰。什麼處住得。師曰。老老大大漢住處也不知。諗曰。三十年弄馬伎。今日却被驢撲（雲居錫云。什麼處是趙州被驢撲處）眾僧侍立。師曰。只恁麼白立無箇說處一場氣悶。有僧擬出問。師乃打之。曰為眾竭力。便入方丈。有行者參師曰。曾去看趙州麼。曰和尚敢道否。師云。非但茱萸一切人道不得。曰和尚放某甲過。師曰。遮裏從前不通人情。曰要且慈悲心在。師便打曰。醒後來為汝。

> The Upādhyāya of Mount Zhuyu in Ezhou initially resided at Huguo Cloister in Suizhou as the first generation. Upādhyāya Jinlun Keguan asked: “What is the Way?”  
> The master said: “Do not drive a peg into empty space.”  
> Guan said: “Empty space is the peg.”  
> The master thereupon struck him. Guan grabbed him and said: “Do not hit me! Later on you will hit someone by mistake.” The master then stopped. (Yunju Xi remarked: “Did this person possess the eye or not? Why did he get struck?”)  
> Upādhyāya Congshen of Zhaozhou first arrived at Yunju. Yunju asked, saying: “You old, old fellow, why don’t you seek a place to stay?”  
> Shen said: “Where can I stay?”  
> Yunju said: “In front of the mountain there is an old temple site.”  
> Shen said: “Live there yourself, Upādhyāya.”  
> Later he arrived at the master’s place. The master said: “You old, old fellow, why don’t you go and stay somewhere?”  
> Shen said: “Where can I stay?”  
> The master said: “You old, old fellow, you don’t even know where to stay!”  
> Shen said: “For thirty years I have performed horsemanship, but today I have been thrown by a donkey.” (Yunju Xi remarked: “Where was it that Zhaozhou was thrown by a donkey?”)  
> The monks stood in attendance. The master said: “Just standing blankly like this with nothing to say is completely suffocating!”  
> A monk was about to come forward and question, but the master struck him, saying: “I exhaust my strength for the assembly,” and then entered his quarters.  
> A practitioner visited, and the master said: “Have you ever been to see Zhaozhou?”  
> He replied: “Does the Upādhyāya dare speak of him?”  
> The master said: “Not only Zhuyu, but all people cannot speak of him.”  
> He said: “Let me pass, Upādhyāya.”  
> The master said: “From of old, human sentiments do not pass through here.”  
> He said: “Yet after all, a compassionate mind is present.”  
> The master struck him and said: “Come back when you have sobered up, and I will act for you.”
