33.47

臨安府龍華無住本禪師。廣德人也。上堂舉。雲門大師拈起胡餅曰。我秖供養兩淛人。不供養向北人。眾無語。門自代曰。天寒日短兩人共一椀。師曰。韶陽老漢言中有響。痛處著錐。檢點將來翻成毒藥。諸人要會麼。半在河南半河北。一片虛凝似墨黑。冷地思量愁殺人。叵耐雲門這老賊。賊賊下座。更不巡堂。

Chan Master Wuzhu Ben of Longhua in Lin'an Prefecture was a native of Guangde. Ascending the hall, he cited: “Great Master Yunmen held up a sesame cake and said: ‘I only make offerings to people of the two Zhe regions; I do not make offerings to people facing north.’ The assembly was silent. Yunmen spoke on their behalf: ‘The weather is cold and the days are short; two people share one bowl.’” The Master said: “The old fellow of Shaoyang had reverberation in his words, applying the awl to the painful spot. When examined, it turned out to be poison instead. Do you all want to understand? Half is south of the Yellow River, half is north of the Yellow River; a piece of frozen stillness, black as ink. Thinking about it in a cold place is truly distressing; unbearable is this old thief Yunmen! Thief, thief!” He stepped down from the seat and did not make the rounds of the hall.
