In his youth he was coarse and impetuous. Suddenly awakening to the floating illusion \[of life\], he turned to a master and left home. Thereupon cultivating refined practice, he went to study with Dongshan. One day he went to Wuchang to beg for alms, and first visited the home of Upāsaka Mr. Liu. The upāsaka's lofty conduct was respected by his contemporaries; in whatever his mind granted or withheld, none would not follow him. The master was young at the time and, not knowing that he was thoroughly seasoned in practice, treated him rather lightly. The upāsaka said, “This old fellow has a question. If there is mutual accord, I will open the subscription ledger. If there is no accord, please return to the mountain.” He then asked, “How is it before the ancient mirror is polished?” The master said, “Black as lacquer.” The upāsaka said, “How is it after it is polished?” The master said, “Illuminating heaven and illuminating earth.” The upāsaka made a deep bow and said, “Please, reverend, return to the mountain.” Flicking his sleeves, he went into his house. Ashamed and crestfallen, the master immediately returned to Dongshan. Dongshan asked him the reason, and the master related the matter in detail. Dongshan said, “You ask me, and I will speak to you.” The master posed the former question. Dongshan said, “From here to Hanyang is not far.” The master posed the latter question. Dongshan said, “Parrot Island before the Yellow Crane Tower.” At these words, the master was greatly awakened. His sharp point of mind could not be touched. After he became abbot, a monk asked, “We have received your words: ‘Do not talk of the profound; do not speak of the wondrous.’ Setting aside these two paths, how do you give instruction?” The master said, “A toad pursues a sparrowhawk.” The monk said, “This is entirely due to this question.” The master said, “A mouse plays with a monkey.” Ascending the hall, he said, “There is only the single adamantine body, appearing amid all dust particles. Toads and earthworms each have their burrows; crows, magpies, turtle doves, and pigeons also have their nests. Right at such a time, for what kind of person does one preach the Dharma?” After a long pause, he said, “Directions gather by kinds; things divide by groups.” Ascending the hall, he said, “On the road through the Three Gorges there is no difference; morning after morning it is only spoken of thus. Sengyou can paint a true likeness; Zhen Prefecture produces fine wrought iron.” Ascending the hall, he said, “Not long, not short; not small, not large. Whose realm is this principle? Bah!” Ascending the hall, he said, “Hearing the two words ‘Buddha Dharma’ has already defiled my ears and eyes. Before you people have crossed the gate of Yunju, right under your heels you deserve thirty blows of the stick. Although it is like this, it is also exhausting one's strength for the assembly.” Ascending the hall, he brought up Jiashan's saying: “At the gate of the bustling market, recognize the Son of Heaven; on the tips of the hundred grasses, make out the old monk.” \[The master said,\] “Yunju is not so. The woman rocks the loom, clack-clack; the child plays with his mouth, awry.” Ascending the hall, he said, “In various regions there are those who handle a snake’s head, pull a tiger’s tail, leap across the great ocean, or conceal their bodies within the edge of a sword. Here at Yunju, in cold weather we wash our feet in hot water; during the night we take off our socks and sleep; in the morning we hurriedly put on our leggings. When the wind blows the fence down, we call the laborers to split bamboo strips and bind it up.” Ascending the hall, he said, “Yunju does not understand Chan; / Washing feet, going to bed to sleep. / The winter melon is simply blockish; / The gourd is curved and crooked.” > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.5.5) - [Next: 5.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.5.7) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077~en-mt.5.6) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [大慧普覺禪師宗門武庫](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998b.1.26) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.5.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.5.6) · Pramāṇa
