### [28.89](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.28.89)

上曰。須盡底透得徹始得。師對。曹洞下禪多云。直須盡底去。如何得盡底去。上擲下羽扇於榻前默然正坐。時眾皆惘然相顧無語。師即起身近前奏曰。今日乃釋迦如來誕慶之辰　陛下作此一段勝事。臣等見所未見聞所聞。時大雨乃曰。直得天雨四花地搖六震。適來諸山皆有頌臣獨無。而今輒有一頌。

> His Majesty said, "One must penetrate completely to the bottom before it will do." The Master replied, "In the Caodong lineage, Chan masters often say, 'One must go straight to the bottom.' How can one get to the bottom?" His Majesty threw down his feather fan in front of the couch and sat upright in silence. At that time, the assembly looked at one another in bewilderment, speechless. The Master immediately stood up, approached, and memorialized, saying, "Today is the auspicious birthday of Śākyamuni Tathāgata. Your Majesty has performed such an extraordinary act that we have seen what has never been seen, and heard what has never been heard." It was raining heavily at the time, so he said, "Directly causing the heavens to rain down the four flowers and the earth to tremble with the six quakes! Just now, the various mountains all offered verses of praise, while I alone had none. Now I venture to offer a verse."
