25.39

洛京興善棲倫禪師。僧問。如何是佛。師曰。向汝恁麼道即得。問如何是西來意。師曰。適來猶記得。因宮師致政李公繼勳終世。有僧問。是法住法位世間相常住。未審宮師李公向什麼處去也。師曰。恰被汝問著。曰恁麼即虛申一問。師曰。汝不妨靈利。

Chan Master Qilun of Xingshan in the Western Capital, Luoyang. A monk asked, "What is the Buddha?" The master said, "To say so to you will do." A monk asked, "What is the meaning of coming from the West?" The master said, "Just now I still remembered." On the occasion of the passing of Grand Preceptor Li Jixun, who had retired from office, a monk asked, "'These phenomena abide in their phenomenal positions, and the characteristics of the world are constantly abiding.' I wonder, to what place has Grand Preceptor Lord Li gone?" The master said, "You happened to ask the right question." The monk said, "If so, then I have put forth an inquiry in vain." The master said, "You are quite sharp."
