30.8

臨安府五雲悟禪師。苕溪人也。上堂。月堂老漢道。行不見行是箇甚麼。坐不見坐是箇甚麼。著衣時不見著衣是箇甚麼。喫飯時不見喫飯是箇甚麼。山僧雖與他同床打睡。要且各自做夢。何故行見行坐見坐。著衣時見著衣。喫飯時見喫飯。無有不見底道理。亦無箇是甚麼。諸人且道。老漢底是。五雲底是。拈拄杖卓一下曰。桃紅李白薔薇紫。問著春風總不知。

Chan Master Wu of Wuyun in Lin'an Prefecture was a native of Tiaoxi. Ascending the hall, [he said], "The old fellow Yuetang said: 'Walking without seeing walking—what is that? Sitting without seeing sitting—what is that? When putting on clothes, not seeing putting on clothes—what is that? When eating food, not seeing eating food—what is that?' Although this mountain monk sleeps in the same bed with him, we nonetheless dream our own dreams. Why? In walking, see walking; in sitting, see sitting; when putting on clothes, see putting on clothes; when eating food, see eating food. There is no principle of 'not seeing', nor is there any 'what is that'. Everyone, tell me: is the old fellow right, or is Wuyun right?" Raising his staff, he struck once and said, "Peach blossoms are red, plum blossoms white, roses purple; / Ask the spring wind, and it knows nothing at all."
