南嶽法輪齊添禪師。僧問。學人上來乞師指示。師曰。汝適來聞鼓聲麼。僧云聞。師曰。還我話頭來僧禮拜。師笑曰。令人疑著。又上堂喝一喝曰。師子哮吼。又喝一喝曰。象王嚬伸。又喝一喝曰。狂狗逐塊。又喝一喝曰。鰕跳不出斗。乃曰。此四喝有一喝堪與佛祖為師。明眼衲僧試請揀看。若揀不出大似日中迷路。又上堂良久曰。性靜情逸。乃喝一喝曰。心動神疲。遂顧左右曰。守真志滿。拈拄杖曰。逐物意移。驀召大眾曰。見怪不怪其怪自壞。

> Chan Master Qitian of Falun on Mount Nanyue. A monk asked, "The student comes forward and begs for the Master's instruction." The master said, "Did you just hear the sound of the drum?" The monk said, "I heard it." The master said, "Give me back my topic." The monk bowed. The master smiled and said, "Making people feel doubtful!" He also ascended the hall, gave a shout, and said, "A lion's roar!" He gave another shout and said, "The elephant king stretches!" He gave another shout and said, "A mad dog chases a clod!" He gave another shout and said, "A leaping shrimp cannot jump out of the peck measure!" He then said, "Among these four shouts, there is one shout worthy of being teacher to the buddhas and patriarchs. Clear-eyed patch-robed monks, pray test and pick it out. If you cannot pick it out, it is much like losing one's way at midday." He also ascended the hall, paused for a long while, and said, "When nature is tranquil, the emotions are at ease." Then he gave a shout and said, "When the mind moves, the spirit is fatigued." He then looked left and right, and said, "Keeping to the true, the will is content." Picking up his staff, he said, "Pursuing things, the intention shifts." Suddenly calling out to the assembly, he said, "Seeing the strange without taking it as strange, its strangeness collapses on its own."
