6.34

潭州龍興智傳禪師。僧問。久處湖湘擬伸一問。師還答否。師曰。何得拕泥帶水。僧便喝。師曰。一陣雨一陣涼。僧禮拜。師曰。有頭無尾。師於治平中示寂。平生行住坐臥之處。悉涌舍利。禪徒唱得衣物者舍利日生。有於真前至誠求者隨念示應。

Chan Master Longxing Zhichuan of Tanzhou. A monk asked, "Having dwelt long in Huxiang, I intend to put forward a question. Will the Master answer it?" The Master said, "Why drag through mud and water?" The monk then shouted. The Master said, "A spell of rain, a spell of coolness." The monk bowed. The Master said, "A head without a tail." During the Zhiping era, the Master showed his passing. Wherever he had walked, stood, sat, or reclined throughout his life, relics welled up everywhere. Whenever Chan followers received his clothing and utensils at auctions, relics were produced daily. When there were those who prayed with utmost sincerity before his portrait, a response was manifested in accordance with their thought.
