### [9.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2077.9.8)

瑞州洞山子圓禪師上堂。有僧出拋下坐具。師曰。一釣便上。僧提起坐具。師曰。弄巧成拙。僧曰。自古無生曲。須是遇知音。師曰。波斯入唐土。僧大笑歸眾。

> Chan Master Ziyuan of Dongshan in Ruizhou ascended the hall. A monk came forward and tossed down his sitting mat. The Master said: 'Caught on the first cast of the hook.' The monk picked up the sitting mat. The Master said: 'Being too clever overreaches itself.' The monk said: 'Since antiquity, the tune of the unborn must meet an appreciative ear.' The Master said: 'A Persian enters the land of Tang.' The monk laughed loudly and returned to the assembly.
