澧州藥山彝肅禪師。僧問。佛未出世時如何。師曰。大樹大皮裏。僧云。出世後如何。師曰。小樹小皮纏。問如何是不動尊。師曰。四王擡不起。

> Chan Master Yisu of Yaoshan in Lizhou. A monk asked, "What was it like before the Buddha appeared in the world?" The Master said, "A big tree inside big bark." The monk said, "What about after he appeared in the world?" The Master said, "A small tree wrapped in small bark." The monk asked, "What is the Immovable Honored One?" The Master said, "The Four Heavenly Kings cannot lift him."
