懷州玄泉彥禪師。僧問。如何是道中人。師曰。日落投孤店。問如何是佛。師曰。張家三箇兒。曰學人不會。師曰。孟仲季便不會。問如何是聲前一句。師曰吽。曰轉後如何。師曰。是什麼。

Chan Master Xuanquan Yan of Huaizhou: A monk asked, "What is a person on the path?" The Master said, "When the sun sets, stopping at an isolated inn." A monk asked, "What is the Buddha?" The Master said, "The three sons of the Zhang family." The monk said, "I do not understand." The Master said, "Meng, Zhong, and Ji—and still you do not understand." A monk asked, "What is the phrase before sound?" The Master said, "Hūṃ." The monk asked, "What about after turning?" The Master said, "What is it?"
