31.8

福州清涼坦禪師。有僧舉大慧竹篦話請益。師示以偈曰。徑山有箇竹篦。直下別無道理。佛殿厨庫三門。穿過衲僧眼耳。其僧言下有省。

Chan Master Tan of Qingliang in Fuzhou. A monk brought forward Dahui's bamboo comb topic to request instruction. The Master instructed him with a verse: 'At Jingshan there is a bamboo comb; / Right beneath it there is no other principle. / The Buddha hall, the kitchen storehouse, and the three gates / Pierce through the patch-robed monks' eyes and ears.' That monk had an awakening upon hearing these words.
