4.27

相州天平山契愚禪師。僧問。師唱誰家曲宗風嗣阿誰。師曰。杖鼓兩頭打。問如何是祖師西來意。師曰。鎮州蘿蔔石。含茶居士問。法無動搖時如何。師曰。爾從潞府來。士曰。一步也不曾驀。師曰。因甚得到這裏。士曰。和尚睡語作麼。師曰。放爾二十棒。官人問。無隣可隔為甚麼不相見。師曰。怨阿誰。師廊下行次。見僧以拄杖示之。僧便近前接。師便打。

Chan Master Qiyu of Mount Tianping in Xiangzhou. A monk asked, "Whose song does the Master sing? Whose ancestral house style do you inherit?" The Master said, "Striking both ends of the hourglass drum." He asked, "What is the meaning of the Patriarch's coming from the West?" The Master said, "The radish stone of Zhenzhou." Upāsaka Hancha asked, "What is it like when dharmas are without wavering?" The Master said, "You came from Lufu." The Upāsaka said, "I have not taken a single step." The Master said, "How did you manage to get here?" The Upāsaka said, "Why is the Venerable Upādhyāya talking in his sleep?" The Master said, "I let you off twenty blows of the stick." An official asked, "There is no neighbor to separate us; why do we not see each other?" The Master said, "Whom do you resent?" While the Master was walking along the corridor, he saw a monk and held out his staff to show him. The monk came forward to take it. The Master immediately struck him.
