12.43

襄州延慶法端號紹真大師。官人問。蚯蚓斬兩段兩頭俱動。佛性在阿那頭。師展兩手(洞山別云。即今問底在那箇頭。此又收在十一卷溈山下何也)。

Faduan of Yanqing in Xiangzhou, titled Great Master Shaozhen. An official asked, "When an earthworm is cut into two pieces, both ends move. In which end is the Buddha-nature?" The Master spread out both hands. (Dongshan said alternatively: "Right now, in which end is the one who asks?" Why is this also recorded under Guishan in fascicle eleven?)
