35.41

杭州淨慈晦翁悟明禪師福州人。上堂舉。夾山會下一僧到高亭纔禮拜。亭便打。僧云。特來禮拜師何打。又拜。亭又打趁出。僧回舉似夾山。山云。會麼。云不會。山云。賴汝不會。汝若會即夾山口啞去。應庵拈云。高亭一期忍俊不禁。爭奈拄杖放行太速。這僧當時若是箇漢。莫道高亭夾山便是。達磨大師出來也斬為三段。何故家肥生孝子。國伯有謀臣。拈云。高亭夾山門庭施設各得其宜。但中間一人較些子。應庵與麼道。也是鞏縣茶瓶。師嘗纂修聯燈會要傳于叢林。

Chan Master Huiweng Wuming of Jingci [Monastery] in Hangzhou was a native of Fuzhou. Ascending the hall, he cited: 'A monk from Jiashan’s assembly arrived at Gaoting. Just as he bowed, Gaoting hit him at once. The monk said, "I have come specially to bow in homage; why do you hit me, Master?" and bowed again. Gaoting hit him again and drove him out. The monk returned and related this to Jiashan. Jiashan said, "Do you understand?" He replied, "I do not understand." Jiashan said, "Fortunate it is that you do not understand! If you had understood, Jiashan's mouth would have been struck dumb." Ying'an brought this up and said, "Gaoting could not contain himself on that occasion, but alas, his staff was released too quickly! If this monk had been a real fellow at that moment, not to mention Gaoting and Jiashan, even if Great Master Bodhidharma had stepped forth, he would have chopped him into three pieces! For what reason? When a family is rich, it produces filial sons; when a state is flourishing, it has resourceful ministers." Ying'an also commented: "The tactical operations of Gaoting and Jiashan were each appropriately suited; only the person in the middle was slightly inferior. Ying'an speaking like this is also like a Gong County teapot."' The Master once compiled the *Liandeng huiyao* (Essentials of the Linked Lamps) to transmit throughout the monastic groves.
