22.13

泗州龜山水陸院曉津禪師。福州人也。僧問。如何是賓中賓。師曰。巢父飲牛。曰如何是賓中主。師曰。許由洗耳。曰如何是主中賓。師便喝。曰如何是主中主。師曰。禮拜了退。上堂。田地穩密過犯彌天。灼然擡脚不起。神通游戲無瘡自傷。特地下脚不得。且道過在甚麼處。具參學眼底出來共相理論。要見本分家山。不支岐路。莫秖管自家點頭蹉過歲月。他時異日頂上一椎。莫言不道。

Chan Master Xiaojin of the Shuilu Cloister on Guishan in Sizhou was a native of Fuzhou. A monk asked: 'What is the guest within the guest?' The Master said: 'Chaofu lets his oxen drink.' [The monk] asked: 'What is the host within the guest?' The Master said: 'Xuyou washes his ears.' [The monk] asked: 'What is the guest within the host?' The Master gave a shout. [The monk] asked: 'What is the host within the host?' The Master said: 'Having bowed, step back.' Ascending the hall: 'When the ground is secure and close, offenses fill the sky: truly one cannot lift a foot. When supernatural playfulness occurs, one hurts oneself without a wound: exceptionally, one cannot set down a foot. Now tell me, where does the fault lie? Let those with eyes for investigation come forth to discuss it together. If you wish to see your original homeland, do not branch off into divergent roads. Do not merely nod to yourself and let the seasons slip by. On another day a hammer blow will strike your crown—do not say you were not told.'
