22.15

潭州南嶽雙峯景齊禪師。上堂拈拄杖曰。橫拈倒用。諸方虎步龍行。打狥撐門。雙峯掉在無事甲裏。因風吹火別是一家。以拄杖靠肩顧視大眾曰。喚作無事得麼。良久曰。刀尺高懸著眼看。誌公不是閑和尚。卓拄杖一下。

Chan Master Jingqi of Shuangfeng on Nanyue in Tanzhou ascended the hall, picked up his staff, and said: 'Holding it horizontally and using it upside down—everywhere there are tiger steps and dragon strides. Straining forward to prop up the gate—Shuangfeng has dropped into the armor of no-affairs. Letting the wind blow the fire is a different family.' Leaning his staff against his shoulder, he looked around at the assembly and said: 'Can you call it no-affairs?' After a good while he said: 'The knife and ruler are hung high; look closely! Master Zhi was no idle upādhyāya.' He struck the staff once.
