6.16

袁州南源道明禪師上堂云。快馬一鞭快人一言。有事何不出頭來。無事各自珍重。便下堂。有僧問。一言作麼生。師乃吐吞云。待我有廣長舌相。即向汝道。洞山來參方上法堂。師云。已相看了也。洞山便下去。至明日却上問云。昨日已蒙和尚慈悲。大知什麼處是與。某甲已相看處。師云。心心無間斷。流入於性海。洞山云。幾放過。洞山辭去。師云。多學佛法廣作利益。洞山云。多學佛法即不問。如何是廣作利益。師云。一物莫違即是。僧問。如何是佛。師云。不可道爾是也。

Chan Master Nanyuan Daoming of Yuanzhou entered the hall and said, "One whip for a fast horse, one word for a sharp person. If there is a matter, why not step forward? If there is no matter, each take good care of yourselves." He then stepped down from the hall. A monk asked, "What is the one word?" The master stuck out his tongue and took it back, saying, "Wait until I have the mark of a broad and long tongue, then I will tell you." Dongshan came to visit, and as soon as he stepped up to the Dharma hall, the master said, "We have already met." Dongshan immediately went down. On the following day he went up again and asked, "Yesterday I was already favored with the upādhyāya's compassion; I would like to know where was the place where we already met?" The master said, "Mind after mind without interruption, flowing into the ocean of nature." Dongshan said, "I almost let it slip past." When Dongshan took his leave, the master said, "Study the Buddha Dharma extensively and broadly create benefits." Dongshan said, "I do not ask about studying the Buddha Dharma extensively; what is broadly creating benefits?" The master said, "Not defying a single thing is it." A monk asked, "What is the Buddha?" The master said, "One cannot say that you are it."
