20.18

池州嵆山章禪師。曾在投子作柴頭。投子喫茶次謂師曰。森羅萬象總在遮一椀茶裏。師便覆却茶云。森羅萬象在什麼處投子曰。可惜一椀茶。師後謁雪峯和尚。雪峯問。莫是章柴頭麼。師乃作輪椎勢。雪峯肯之。

Chan Master Zhang of Mount Qishan in Chizhou once served as the wood-chopper under Touzi. As Touzi was drinking tea, he said to the Master: "The myriad phenomena are all within this single bowl of tea." The Master overturned the tea and said: "Where are the myriad phenomena?" Touzi said: "What a pity for a bowl of tea!" Later, the Master visited Upādhyāya Xuefeng. Xuefeng asked: "Could you be Zhang the wood-chopper?" The Master made the gesture of swinging a mallet. Xuefeng approved him.
