18.21

福州僊宗院仁慧大師行瑫。泉州人也。姓王氏。本州開元寺受業。預雪峯禪會聲聞四遠。閩帥請轉法輪玄徒奔至。上堂曰。我與釋迦同參。汝道參什麼人。時一僧出禮拜擬伸問。師曰錯。問如何是西來意。師曰。熊耳不曾藏。問直下事乞師方便。師曰。不因汝問我亦不道。問如何是西來意。師曰。白日無閑人。

Master Renhui Xingtao of Xianzhong Monastery in Fuzhou was a native of Quanzhou whose lay surname was Wang. He received his training at Kaiyuan Temple in his home prefecture. He joined Xuefeng’s Chan assembly, and his renown was heard far and wide. The military commander of Min requested him to turn the wheel of the Dharma, and seekers of the mystery rushed to him. He ascended the hall and said, “I studied together with Śākyamuni. Tell me, what person did we study with?” At that time a monk stepped out, bowed, and was about to ask a question, when the Master said, “Wrong.” A monk asked, “What is the meaning of the coming from the west?” The Master said, “Xionger was never concealed.” He asked, “Regarding the immediate matter, please grant your skillful means, Master.” The Master said, “If not for your question, I would not speak of it either.” He asked, “What is the meaning of the coming from the west?” The Master said, “In broad daylight there are no idle people.”
