### [8.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.8.39)

平江府明因慧贇禪師上堂。橫按拄杖曰。若恁麼去直得天無二日國無二王。釋迦老子飲氣吞聲。一大藏教如蟲蝕木。設使鑽仰不及。正是無孔鐵鎚。假饒信手拈來。也是殘羹餿飯。一時吐却方有少分相應。更乃墮在空亡。依舊是鬼家活計。要會麼。雨後始知山色翠。事難方見丈夫心。卓拄杖下座。

> Chan Master Huiyun of Mingyin in Pingjiang Prefecture ascended the hall. Holding his staff horizontally, he said: "If one proceeds in this way, directly there is no second sun in heaven, no second king in the realm. Old Lord Śākya chokes back his breath and swallows his voice; the entire canon of teachings is like a worm gnawing wood. Even if you bore into and look up to it without catching up, it is truly an iron hammer without a hole. Even if you pick it up freely at will, it is still stale soup and spoiled rice. Only when you vomit it all out at once will there be a slight bit of accord. If you furthermore fall into empty voidness, that is still the livelihood of a ghost family. Do you want to understand? Only after the rain do you know the greenness of the mountains; only when affairs become difficult do you see the mind of a great man." Striking his staff, he descended from the seat.
