14.28

明州香山正覺延泳禪師。僧問。祖意西來即不問。和尚家風事若何。師曰。眼深鼻大。云學人便恁麼履踐時如何。師曰。臂長袖短。乃曰。心隨境現境逐心生。心境兩忘是箇什麼。拈起拄杖曰。且道這箇甚處得來。若道是拄杖瞎却爾眼。若道不是拄杖瞎在甚麼處。是與不是一時拈却。且騎拄杖出三門去也。

Chan Master Zhenjue Yanyong of Xiangshan in Mingzhou. A monk asked, “I do not ask about the Patriarch's coming from the West; what is the matter of the Upādhyāya's house style?”
The Master said, “Deep eyes, big nose.”
[The monk] said, “What about when a student puts this into practice?”
The Master said, “Long arms, short sleeves.”

He then said, “Mind appears following objects; objects arise chasing mind. When mind and objects are both forgotten, what is this?”
Lifting his staff, he said, “Now tell me, where did this come from? If you say it is a staff, you blind your own eyes. If you say it is not a staff, where are your eyes blinded? Pick away both ‘is’ and ‘is not’ all at once; then mount the staff and ride out through the triple gate!”
