26.71

福州玉泉義隆禪師。上堂曰。山河大地盡在諸人眼睛裏。因什麼說會與不會。時有僧問曰。山河大地眼睛裏。師今欲更指歸誰。師曰。只為上座去處分明。曰若不上來伸此問。焉知方便不虛施。師曰。依俙似曲才堪聽。又被風吹別調中。

Chan Master Yilong of Yuquan in Fuzhou ascended the hall and said, "The mountains, rivers, and the great earth are all in the eyes of everyone here. Why do you speak of understanding and not understanding?" At that time a monk asked, "The mountains, rivers, and the great earth are in the eyes. To whom would the master now point as the refuge?" The master said, "Only because the sthavira's destination is distinct and clear." The monk said, "If I had not come up to raise this question, how would I know that skillful means are not exerted in vain?" The master said, "Vaguely resembling a tune, it is barely fit to hear, / Yet again it has been blown by the wind into a different melody."
