【English Translation】 English version Taisho Tripitaka Volume 47, No. 1994A, Sayings of Zen Master Yangqi Fanghui No. 1994A Sayings of Zen Master Yangqi Fanghui Sayings of Master Hui of Putong Chan Monastery, Yangqi Mountain, Yuanzhou Compiled by Disciple Renyong of Baoning Chan Monastery, Jiangning Prefecture, Successor to the Dharma When Zen Master Fanghui was at Jiufeng Mountain in Junzhou, after receiving the memorial, he put on his Dharma robe. Then, he picked it up and showed it to the assembly, saying, 'Do you understand? If you don't understand, today you have aimlessly wandered into a herd of water buffalo. Do you know? Junyang's Nine Bends, Ping's Yangqi.' Then he ascended the seat. At that time, a monk came out from the assembly. The Zen Master said, 'Before the fisherman casts his line, leaping fish rush through the waves.' The monk then shouted. The Zen Master said, 'I don't believe it.' The monk clapped his hands and returned to the assembly. The Zen Master said, 'How much wind did the Dragon King expend?' A monk asked, 'Whose tune does the Master sing? Whose ancestral style do you inherit?' The Zen Master said, 'If you have a horse, ride it; if you don't have a horse, walk.' The monk advanced, saying, 'Young Elder, you have many strategies.' The Zen Master said, 'Considering your age, I'll spare you thirty blows.' A monk asked, 'What is Buddha?' The Zen Master said, 'A three-legged donkey walks, playing with its hooves.' The monk advanced, saying, 'Is that all there is to it?' The Zen Master said, 'The old monk from Hunan.' A monk asked, 'To abandon both person and Dharma is not yet the ultimate for a Chan monk; to extinguish both Buddha and Patriarch is still a point of doubt for the student. I wonder how the Master guides people?' The Zen Master said, 'You only need to see through the new Elder.' The monk advanced, saying, 'Then it's like freshly chopping green firewood and burning it with the leaves.' The Zen Master said, 'Seven times nine is sixty-three.' The Zen Master said, 'Is there anyone else who wants to ask questions? Try to come out and meet everyone. Yangqi's life today is in all of your hands, allowing you to drag me around as you please. Why do I say this? A great man must make decisions in front of everyone; don't be like pressing a gourd under water in secret. When quoting scriptures in public, don't immediately turn red in the face. Is there anyone? Is there anyone? Come out and make a decision and see. If not, Yangqi will fail.' As soon as the Zen Master descended from the seat, Monk Jiufeng Qin grabbed him and said, 'Today I am happy to meet a fellow practitioner.' The Zen Master said, 'What is the matter of a fellow practitioner?' Monk Jiufeng said, 'Jiufeng pulls the plow, Yangqi pulls the rake.' The Zen Master said, '...'
正當與么時。楊岐在前九峰在前。峰擬議。師托開云將謂同參。元來不是。
師入院上堂。僧問。如何是楊岐境。師云。獨松巖畔秀。猿向下山啼。進云。如何是境中人。師云。貧家女子攜籃去。牧童橫笛望源歸。師乃云。霧鎖長空風生大野。百草樹木作大師子吼。演說摩訶大般若。三世諸佛在爾諸人腳跟下轉大法輪。若也會得。功不浪施。若也不會。莫道楊岐山勢險。前頭更有最高峰。
上堂云。百丈把火開田說大義。是何言歟。楊岐兩日種禾。亦有個奇特語。乃云。達磨大師無當門齒。
上堂。楊岐一要。千聖同妙。佈施大眾。拍禪床一下云。果然失照。
上堂。楊岐一言。隨方就圓。若也擬議。十萬八千。下座。
上堂。楊岐一語。呵佛叱祖。明眼人前。不得錯舉。下座。
上堂。楊岐一句。急著眼覷。長連床上。拈匙把箸。下座。
上堂。僧問。急水江頭須下釣。如何釣得巨鱉歸。師云。撒手長空外。時人總不知。進云。知底事作么生。師云。云生嶺上。進云。作家宗師天然猶在。師云。念言語漢。師乃云。不見一法是大過患。拈起拄杖云。穿卻釋迦老子鼻孔。作么生道得脫身一句。向水不洗水處道將一句來。良久云。向道莫行山下路。果聞猿叫斷腸聲。
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 正在這個時候，是楊岐（Yangqi，山名，也指楊岐派）在前還是九峰（Jiufeng，山名）在前呢？九峰想要議論，楊岐禪師托開云禪師說，本以為是同參道友，原來不是。
禪師入院上堂說法，有僧人問：『什麼是楊岐的境界？』禪師說：『獨松巖邊景色秀麗，猿猴向山下啼叫。』僧人進一步問：『什麼是境界中的人？』禪師說：『貧窮人家的女子提著籃子離去，牧童橫吹著笛子望著源頭回家。』禪師於是說：『霧氣籠罩著長空，風吹動著廣闊的原野，各種草木都在作大師子吼，演說摩訶大般若（Mahaprajna，偉大的智慧）。三世諸佛都在你們每個人的腳跟下轉大法輪。』如果能夠領會，就不會白費功夫。如果不能領會，不要說楊岐山勢險峻，前面還有更高的山峰。
上堂說法，禪師說：『百丈（Baizhang，禪師名）拿著火把開田，說大義，這是什麼意思呢？』楊岐禪師兩天種稻，也有個奇特的說法。於是說：『達磨大師（Bodhidharma）沒有門牙。』
上堂說法，禪師說：『楊岐禪師的一個要點，千聖都覺得巧妙。』佈施給大眾，拍了一下禪床說：『果然是失去了照應。』
上堂說法，禪師說：『楊岐禪師的一句話，隨著方圓而適應。如果想要議論，就會有十萬八千里的差距。』下座。
上堂說法，禪師說：『楊岐禪師的一句話，呵斥佛，呵斥祖師。在明眼人面前，不能錯誤地引用。』下座。
上堂說法，禪師說：『楊岐禪師的一句話，要趕緊睜大眼睛看清楚。在長連床上，拿起勺子，拿著筷子。』下座。
上堂說法，有僧人問：『在急流的江邊需要下釣，如何才能釣到大鱉回來？』禪師說：『撒手在廣闊的天空之外，世人都不明白。』僧人進一步問：『明白的人會怎麼做？』禪師說：『雲彩在山嶺上產生。』僧人說：『真正的大師天然存在。』禪師說：『你只是個唸誦言語的傢伙。』禪師於是說：『不見一法是最大的過患。』拿起拄杖說：『穿透了釋迦老子（Sakyamuni）的鼻孔，怎麼說才能說出脫身的一句話？』在不用水洗水的地方說出一句話來。良久，禪師說：『早知道不要走山下的小路，果然聽到了猿猴的叫聲，令人肝腸寸斷。』
【English Translation】 English version: Right at this moment, is it Yangqi (Yangqi, mountain name, also refers to the Yangqi school) in front or Jiufeng (Jiufeng, mountain name) in front? Jiufeng intends to discuss, but Zen Master Yangqi, through Zen Master Kaiyun, says, 'I thought we were fellow practitioners, but it turns out we are not.'
The Zen Master enters the monastery and ascends the hall to preach. A monk asks, 'What is the realm of Yangqi?' The Zen Master says, 'The scenery beside the Dú Sōng Rock is beautiful, and monkeys cry down the mountain.' The monk further asks, 'What are the people in the realm?' The Zen Master says, 'A poor family's daughter goes away carrying a basket, and a shepherd boy plays the flute horizontally, gazing towards the source to return home.' The Zen Master then says, 'Mist locks the long sky, and wind arises in the vast wilderness. All grasses and trees are making the great lion's roar, expounding the Maha Prajna (Mahaprajna, great wisdom). The Buddhas of the three worlds are turning the great Dharma wheel under the feet of each of you.' If you can understand, your efforts will not be in vain. If you cannot understand, do not say that the mountain of Yangqi is dangerous; there are even higher peaks ahead.
Ascending the hall to preach, the Zen Master says, 'Baizhang (Baizhang, name of a Zen master) opens the field with a torch, speaking of great righteousness. What does this mean?' Zen Master Yangqi plants rice for two days and also has a peculiar saying. Then he says, 'Bodhidharma (Bodhidharma) has no front teeth.'
Ascending the hall to preach, the Zen Master says, 'Yangqi's one essential point is wonderfully shared by a thousand sages.' Giving to the assembly, he strikes the Zen bed once and says, 'Indeed, the illumination is lost.'
Ascending the hall to preach, the Zen Master says, 'Yangqi's one word adapts to every situation. If you try to deliberate, there will be a difference of one hundred and eight thousand.' Descends from the seat.
Ascending the hall to preach, the Zen Master says, 'Yangqi's one word scolds the Buddha and scolds the patriarchs. In front of those with clear eyes, do not quote it wrongly.' Descends from the seat.
Ascending the hall to preach, the Zen Master says, 'Yangqi's one sentence, quickly open your eyes and look closely. On the long meditation bed, picking up the spoon and holding the chopsticks.' Descends from the seat.
Ascending the hall to preach, a monk asks, 'At the head of the rapid river, one must cast a fishing line. How can one catch a giant turtle to bring back?' The Zen Master says, 'Release your hand beyond the vast sky; people of the world do not understand.' The monk further asks, 'What do those who understand do?' The Zen Master says, 'Clouds arise on the ridge.' The monk says, 'A true master is naturally present.' The Zen Master says, 'You are just a reciter of words.' The Zen Master then says, 'Not seeing a single dharma is the greatest fault.' Picking up his staff, he says, 'Piercing the nose of old Sakyamuni (Sakyamuni), how can one say a word to escape?' Speak a word in a place where water is not used to wash water. After a long silence, the Zen Master says, 'Knowing that I should not walk the path at the foot of the mountain, I indeed heard the sound of monkeys crying, breaking my heart.'
上堂。拍禪床一下云。只個心心心是佛。十方世界最靈物。釋迦老子說夢。三世諸佛說夢。天下老和尚說夢。且問諸人。還曾作夢么。若也作夢。向半夜裡道將一句來。良久云。人間縱有真訊息。偷向楊岐說夢看。參。
上堂。坐斷乾坤天地黯黑。放過一著雨順風調。然雖如是。俗氣未除在。僧問。欲免心中鬧。應須看古教。如何是古教。師云。乾坤月明碧海波澄。進云。未審作么生看。師云。腳跟下。進云。忽遇洪波浩渺時如何。師云。放過一著十字縱橫。又作么生。僧便喝。撫掌一下。師云。看者一員戰將。進云。打草蛇驚。師云。也要大家知。
師拈起拄杖云。一即一切一切即一。劃一劃云。山河大地天下老和尚百雜碎。作么生是諸人鼻孔。良久云。劍為不平離寶匣。藥因救病出金瓶。喝一喝卓一下。參。
上堂。秋雨洗秋林。秋林咸翠色。傷嗟傅大士。何處尋彌勒。
上堂。薄福住楊岐。年來氣力衰。寒風凋敗葉。猶喜故人歸。啰唻哩。拈上死柴頭。且向無煙火。
上堂。楊岐無旨的。栽田博飯吃。說夢老瞿曇。何處覓軌跡。喝一喝拍禪床一下。參。
上堂。凡聖不存佛祖何立。大眾。清平世界不許人攙奪行市。
上堂。楊岐乍住屋壁疏。滿床皆佈雪真珠。縮
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本
（師父）上堂說法。拍了一下禪床說：『這個心、心、心就是佛，十方世界最靈妙的東西。釋迦老子（Śākyamuni，佛教創始人）在說夢話，三世諸佛（過去、現在、未來的一切佛）在說夢話，天下的老和尚都在說夢話。』且問各位，你們可曾做過夢嗎？如果做過夢，在半夜裡說出一句來。良久（停頓很久）說：『人間縱然有真實的訊息，也只是偷偷地到楊岐這裡來看人說夢。』參！
（師父）上堂說法。坐斷乾坤（宇宙），天地黯黑。放過一著（一步），雨順風調。雖然如此，俗氣還沒有去除。有僧人問：『想要免除心中的煩惱，應該看古教（古代的教義）。什麼是古教？』師父說：『乾坤月明，碧海波澄。』僧人追問：『不知道該怎麼看？』師父說：『在腳跟下。』僧人又問：『忽然遇到洪波浩渺時該怎麼辦？』師父說：『放過一著，十字縱橫。又該怎麼辦？』僧人便喝了一聲，撫掌一下。師父說：『看，這是一員戰將。』僧人說：『打草驚蛇。』師父說：『也要讓大家知道。』
（師父）拿起拄杖說：『一即一切，一切即一。』劃了一下說：『山河大地，天下老和尚，都打成粉碎。』什麼是各位的鼻孔？良久說：『劍因為不平而離開寶匣，藥因為救病而從金瓶中取出。』喝一聲，卓（放下）一下。參！
（師父）上堂說法。秋雨洗滌秋天的樹林，秋林一片翠綠。可嘆傅大士（Fù Dàshì，南北朝時期的居士，以其對佛教的貢獻而聞名），到哪裡去尋找彌勒（Maitreya，未來佛）？
（師父）上堂說法。我這薄福之人住在楊岐，近年來氣力衰退。寒風吹落凋殘的樹葉，還高興有老朋友歸來。啰唻哩（無意義的音節）。拿起將死的柴頭，且向無煙處生火。
（師父）上堂說法。楊岐沒有什麼特別的宗旨，只是種田爲了吃飯。說夢的老瞿曇（Gautama，釋迦牟尼佛的姓氏），到哪裡去尋找他的軌跡？喝一聲，拍一下禪床。參！
（師父）上堂說法。凡夫和聖人不存，佛和祖又如何立足？各位，這清平的世界不允許人來攙奪市場。
（師父）上堂說法。我楊岐剛住進來，屋壁稀疏，滿床都是像雪一樣的珍珠。縮
【English Translation】 English version
(The Master) ascended the hall. He struck the Zen chair once and said, 'This mind, mind, mind is Buddha, the most spiritual thing in the ten directions of the world. Śākyamuni (the founder of Buddhism) is talking in his sleep, the Buddhas of the three times (past, present, and future) are talking in their sleep, and all the old monks in the world are talking in their sleep.' Now, I ask you all, have you ever dreamed? If you have dreamed, then speak a sentence in the middle of the night.' After a long pause, he said, 'Even if there is true news in the human world, it is only secretly coming to Yangqi to see people talking in their sleep.' Contemplate!
(The Master) ascended the hall. Sitting and cutting off the universe, heaven and earth are dark. Letting go of one move, the rain is smooth and the wind is favorable. Although it is so, the worldly air has not been removed. A monk asked, 'To avoid the troubles in the heart, one should look at the ancient teachings. What are the ancient teachings?' The Master said, 'The universe is bright with the moon, and the blue sea is clear with waves.' The monk asked further, 'I don't know how to look?' The Master said, 'Under your feet.' The monk asked again, 'What if you suddenly encounter a vast expanse of flood?' The Master said, 'Let go of one move, the cross is vertical and horizontal. What else?' The monk then shouted and clapped his hands once. The Master said, 'Look, this is a warrior.' The monk said, 'Startling the snake in the grass.' The Master said, 'Everyone should also know.'
(The Master) picked up the staff and said, 'One is all, and all is one.' He drew a line and said, 'The mountains, rivers, and earth, and all the old monks in the world, are all smashed to pieces.' What are everyone's nostrils? After a long pause, he said, 'The sword leaves the treasure box because of injustice, and the medicine is taken out of the golden bottle to save the sick.' Shout once, and strike (put down) once. Contemplate!
(The Master) ascended the hall. The autumn rain washes the autumn forest, and the autumn forest is all green. It is a pity for Fù Dàshì (a lay Buddhist of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, known for his contributions to Buddhism), where to find Maitreya (the future Buddha)?
(The Master) ascended the hall. I, a person of little fortune, live in Yangqi, and my strength has declined in recent years. The cold wind blows down the withered leaves, and I am still happy that old friends have returned. Ro lai li (meaningless syllables). Pick up the dying firewood and make a fire in a smokeless place.
(The Master) ascended the hall. Yangqi has no special purpose, just farming to eat. Where to find the traces of the old Gautama (Śākyamuni Buddha's surname) who speaks dreams? Shout once, and slap the Zen chair once. Contemplate!
(The Master) ascended the hall. If ordinary people and saints do not exist, how can the Buddha and the ancestors stand? Everyone, this peaceful world does not allow people to seize the market.
(The Master) ascended the hall. I, Yangqi, just moved in, the walls of the house are sparse, and the bed is full of pearls like snow. Shrink
卻項暗嗟吁。良久云。翻憶古人樹下居。

舒州白雲峰嗣法小師守端編
師于興化寺開堂府主龍圖度疏與師。師才接得。乃提起云。大眾。府主龍圖駕部諸官。盡為爾諸人說第一義諦了也。諸人還知么。若知。家國安寧。事同一家。若不知。曲勞僧正度與表白宣讀。且要天下人知。表白宣疏了乃云。今之日。賢侯霧擁海眾臨筵。最上上乘。請師敷演。師云。若是最上上乘。千聖側立。佛祖潛蹤。何故如此。為諸人盡同古佛。還信得及么。若信得及大家散去。若不散去。山僧謾爾諸人去也。遂升座拈香云。此一瓣香。祝延今上皇帝聖壽無窮。又拈香云。此一瓣香。奉為知府龍圖駕部諸官。伏願。常居祿位。復拈香云。大眾。還知落處么。若也不知。卻為注破。奉酬石霜山慈明禪師法乳之恩。山僧不免薰天炙地去也。便燒。凈行大師白槌云。法筵龍象眾。當觀第一義。師云。大眾。早是落二落三了也。諸人何不負丈夫之氣。若不然者。有疑請問。僧問。昔日梵王請佛。天雨四花。府主臨筵。有何祥瑞。師云。片云收岳面。浪自靜瀟湘。進云。大眾沾恩。學人禮謝。師云。斷頭船子下揚州。僧問。埋兵掉斗即不問。今日當場事若何。師云。楊岐入界來。未曾逢見者作家。僧以

后住潭州云蓋山海會寺語錄
舒州白雲峰嗣法小師守端編
師父在興化寺開堂，知府龍圖（官名）呈上疏文給師父。師父剛接過，就提起來說：『各位，知府龍圖、駕部（官名）各位官員，已經為你們各位說了第一義諦了。你們各位知道嗎？如果知道，國家就安定太平，事情就像一家人一樣。如果不知道，就白費了僧正（官名）的宣讀和表白。而且要讓天下人都知道。』表白宣讀完畢后說：『今天，賢侯（對地方長官的尊稱）像雲霧般擁著大眾來到這裡，請師父您宣講最上乘的佛法。』師父說：『如果是最上乘的佛法，那麼千聖（指眾多的聖人）都要側身站立，佛祖也要隱藏軌跡。為什麼會這樣呢？因為你們各位都和過去的佛一樣。相信嗎？如果相信，大家就散了吧。如果不散，我就要欺騙你們了。』於是升座拈香說：『這一瓣香，祝願當今皇帝聖壽無疆。』又拈香說：『這一瓣香，奉獻給知府龍圖、駕部各位官員，祝願他們常居高位。』又拈香說：『各位，知道這香落在哪裡嗎？如果不知道，我就為你們點破。這是爲了報答石霜山慈明禪師的法乳之恩。我不免要薰天炙地了。』說完就燒了香。凈行大師敲槌說：『法筵龍象眾，當觀第一義。』師父說：『各位，早就落二落三了。你們為什麼不拿出大丈夫的氣概？如果不是這樣，有疑問就請問。』有僧人問：『過去梵王（婆羅門教主）請佛，天降四種花。知府大人今天來到這裡，有什麼祥瑞？』師父說：『一片雲彩遮住了山嶽的臉面，風浪自然平息了瀟湘的水面。』僧人進言說：『大眾都沾了恩惠，學人（僧人自稱）要禮拜感謝。』師父說：『斷了頭的船也要下揚州。』有僧人問：『埋兵掉斗（指戰爭）暫且不問，今天當場的事情怎麼樣？』師父說：『楊岐（禪師名號）來到這裡，還沒有遇到真正的行家。』僧人以……

Recorded Sayings from Haihui Temple on Mount Yungai in Tanzhou, where the Master later resided
Compiled by Shouduan, a junior disciple who inherited the Dharma at White Cloud Peak in Shuzhou
The Master opened the Dharma assembly at Xinghua Temple. The Prefectural Governor Longtu (official title) presented a memorial to the Master. As soon as the Master received it, he raised it and said, 'Everyone, the Prefectural Governor Longtu, the officials of the Ministry of Personnel (official title), have already explained the First Principle to all of you. Do you all understand? If you understand, the country will be peaceful and secure, and matters will be like one family. If you don't understand, then the reading and declaration by the Chief Monk (official title) are in vain. Moreover, it should be known to everyone under heaven.' After the declaration was read, he said, 'Today, the Honorable Governor (a respectful term for a local official) has come here surrounded by the assembly like clouds, requesting the Master to expound the supreme vehicle of Dharma.' The Master said, 'If it is the supreme vehicle of Dharma, then the thousand sages (referring to numerous saints) must stand aside, and the Buddhas must conceal their traces. Why is this so? Because all of you are the same as the Buddhas of the past. Do you believe it? If you believe it, then everyone should disperse. If you do not disperse, then I will deceive you all.' Thereupon, he ascended the seat, took incense, and said, 'This stick of incense, I offer to wish the current Emperor boundless longevity.' Again, he took incense and said, 'This stick of incense, I offer to the Prefectural Governor Longtu and the officials of the Ministry of Personnel, wishing them to remain in their positions.' Again, he took incense and said, 'Everyone, do you know where it falls? If you do not know, then I will break it open for you. This is to repay the Dharma-milk kindness of Zen Master Ciming of Mount Shishuang. I cannot avoid scorching heaven and earth.' Then he burned the incense. The Pure Conduct Master struck the gavel and said, 'The dragon and elephant assembly at the Dharma gathering should contemplate the First Principle.' The Master said, 'Everyone, it has already fallen into the second and third levels. Why do you not bring forth the spirit of a great person? If not, please ask if you have any doubts.' A monk asked, 'In the past, when King Brahma (the leader of Brahmanism) invited the Buddha, the heavens rained down four kinds of flowers. Today, the Prefectural Governor has come here, what auspicious signs are there?' The Master said, 'A cloud covers the face of the mountain, and the waves naturally calm the waters of the Xiang River.' The monk further said, 'The assembly has received grace, and the student (a humble term for a monk) wishes to bow and thank you.' The Master said, 'A headless boat still goes to Yangzhou.' A monk asked, 'I will not ask about burying soldiers and dropping the dipper (referring to war), what about the matter at hand today?' The Master said, 'Since Yangqi (a Zen master's name) came here, he has not met a true expert.' The monk with...
手劃一劃。師云。分身兩處看。師乃云。若有問話者請出來。諸供養中法供養最勝。若據祖宗令下。祖佛潛蹤天下黯黑。豈容諸人在者里立地。更待山僧開兩片皮。雖然如是。且向第二機中。說些葛藤繁興大用。舉步全真既立名。真非離真而立。立處即真。者里須會。當處發生隨處解脫。此喚作鬧市裡上竿子。是人總見。爾道金不博金一句作么生道。還有人道得么。試出來踣跳看。如無。山僧今日失利。但某此際榮幸。伏遇知府龍圖通判駕部洎諸官僚。請住云蓋道場。可謂諸官愿弘深廣為國忠臣。建立法幢上嚴帝祚。然愿諸官壽齊山嶽永佐明君。作大股肱為佛施主。諸院尊宿在會信心。世世生生共營大事。久立珍重。
上堂。春雨普潤一滴滴不落別處。拈拄杖卓一下云。會么。九年空面壁。年老轉心孤。
歲旦上堂。僧問。舊歲已隨殘臘去。今日新春事若何。師云。缽盂里滿盛。進云。與么則三年逢一閏。九月是重陽。師云。野火燒不盡。春風吹又生。進云。專為舉似諸方去也。師云。爾道云蓋末後一句作么道。進云。七九六十三。師云。念言語漢。師乃云。春風如刀春雨如膏。律令正行萬物情動。爾道腳踏實地一句作么生道。出來向東涌西沒處道看。直饒道得。也是梁山頌子。

【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： （禪師）用手比劃了一下。禪師說：『分身兩處看。』禪師於是說：『若有問話的人，請出來。』各種供養中，法供養最為殊勝。若依據祖師的命令，祖師和佛陀都會隱藏軌跡，天下變得一片黑暗。豈能容許各位在這裡立足？更何況還要山僧我來多費口舌。雖然如此，且在第二種機緣中，說些糾纏不清、繁複興盛的大用。舉步全是真，既然立下了這個名號，真就不是脫離真而成立的，立足之處即是真。這裡須得領會，當處發生，隨處解脫。這叫做鬧市裡爬竿子，是人都能看見。你們說『金不博金』這句話該怎麼說？還有人能說得出來嗎？試著出來跌撲跳躍看看。如果沒有，山僧我今天就失利了。但我此時感到榮幸，承蒙知府、龍圖、通判、駕部以及各位官員，邀請我來主持云蓋道場。各位官員的願力可謂弘深廣博，是國家的忠臣，建立法幢，上可莊嚴帝王的基業。愿各位的壽命與山嶽齊平，永遠輔佐英明的君主，做偉大的股肱之臣，做佛的施主。各寺院的尊宿和在座的各位信士，世世代代共同經營這件大事。久站了，珍重。』
上堂。春雨普遍滋潤，每一滴都不會落在別處。拈起拄杖，敲擊一下說：『會了嗎？九年空自面壁，年老了反而更加孤僻。』
歲旦上堂。僧人問道：『舊歲已經隨著殘冬逝去，今天新春之事如何？』禪師說：『缽盂里盛滿了。』僧人進言道：『這麼說來，三年逢一個閏月，九月就是重陽節了。』禪師說：『野火燒不盡，春風吹又生。』僧人進言道：『專門爲了向各方傳達此事。』禪師說：『你說云蓋寺最後一句該怎麼說？』僧人說：『七九六十三。』禪師說：『只會念言語的傢伙。』禪師於是說：『春風如刀，春雨如膏。律令正行，萬物情動。你們說腳踏實地一句該怎麼說？出來向東涌西沒之處說說看。』即使說得出來，也是梁山的頌子。
上堂。寅時清晨
【English Translation】 English version: The master gestured with his hand. The master said, 'Observe the division in two places.' Then the master said, 'If there is anyone who wishes to ask questions, please come forward. Among all offerings, the offering of Dharma is the most supreme. If based on the ancestral decree, the ancestors and Buddhas would conceal their traces, and the world would become dark. How can you all be allowed to stand here? Moreover, do you expect this mountain monk to waste more words? Although this is so, let's talk about some entangled, complex, and flourishing great functions in the second opportunity. Every step is entirely true; since this name has been established, truth is not established apart from truth; the place of establishment is truth. You must understand this: where it arises, there is liberation everywhere. This is called climbing a pole in the marketplace; everyone can see it. What do you say about the phrase 'Gold does not gamble for gold'? Is there anyone who can say it? Try to come out and stumble and jump. If not, this mountain monk will lose today. But I am honored at this moment to have the presence of the Prefect, Longtu, Vice Prefect, Jiabu, and all the officials, inviting me to preside over the Yungai Dharma assembly. The vows of all the officials can be described as profound and vast, being loyal ministers of the country, establishing the Dharma banner, and above, solemnly adorning the emperor's foundation. May the lives of all the officials be as long as the mountains, forever assisting the wise ruler, being great pillars of support, and being patrons of the Buddha. May the venerable elders of all the monasteries and all the faithful present here cultivate this great matter together, generation after generation. I have been standing for a long time, take care.'
Ascending the Dharma hall. 'The spring rain universally moistens, not a single drop falls elsewhere.' Raising the staff and striking it once, he said, 'Do you understand? Nine years of empty wall-gazing, growing old only increases loneliness.'
Ascending the Dharma hall on New Year's Day. A monk asked, 'The old year has passed with the end of winter; what about the affairs of the New Year today?' The master said, 'The alms bowl is filled to the brim.' The monk continued, 'In that case, there is a leap month every three years, and the ninth month is the Double Ninth Festival.' The master said, 'Wildfires cannot burn it out; the spring breeze blows and brings it back to life.' The monk continued, 'Specifically to convey this to all directions.' The master said, 'What do you say is the last phrase of Yungai Temple?' The monk said, 'Seven nines are sixty-three.' The master said, 'A fellow who only recites words.' Then the master said, 'The spring breeze is like a knife, the spring rain is like ointment. The laws are rightly practiced, and all things are moved by emotion. What do you say about the phrase 'Standing on solid ground'? Come out and say it where east surges and west disappears.' Even if you can say it, it is still a Liangshan verse.
Ascending the Dharma hall. Early morning at the hour of Yin.
古今總見。更問如何。也是癡漢。

【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 『古今總見』，再問『如何』，真是個癡人。
上堂說法。『一塵才舉，大地全收』。拈起拄杖說：『如今舉起了。』在禪床上一擊說：『山河大地塞住了你們的眼睛。』有不被人欺騙的，出來說說看。』良久說：『玉笛橫吹動天地，未曾逢著個知音。』參！
上堂說法。『身心清凈，諸境清凈；諸境清凈，身心清凈。』還知道云蓋老人的落腳處嗎？於是說：『河裡失錢河裡捷。』下座。
上堂說法。云蓋的事，不如說禪，像吞栗蓬。若在此處會得，佛法天地懸殊。
上堂說法。『三春將盡，四海廓清，風恬浪靜。』是人知道有，且說，『將長就短』一句怎麼說？良久說：『幾度黑風翻大海，未曾聞道釣舟傾。』參！
上堂說法。拈起拄杖擊打一下說：『大眾，達磨（Bodhidharma）縱有真訊息，也落在你們的第二機。』參！
上堂說法。景色乍晴，物情舒泰。舉步也是千身彌勒（Maitreya），動用也隨處釋迦（Sakyamuni）。文殊（Manjusri）普賢（Samantabhadra）總在這裡。眾中有不受人欺騙的，便說，云蓋和麩糶面。雖然如此，布袋里盛錐子。
上堂說法。『有句無句，如藤倚樹。』文殊（Manjusri）維摩（Vimalakirti）撒手歸去。云蓋這麼說，也是看錮鏴。更有後語，不得錯舉。下座。
上堂說法。『阿呵呵是什麼？』僧堂里喫茶去。下座。
上堂說法。擲下拄杖說：『釋迦老子（Sakyamuni）著趺，偷笑云蓋亂說。』雖然世界坦平，也是將勤補拙。參！
參駕部歸寺上堂。釋迦老子（Sakyamuni）為先鋒，彌勒大士（Maitreya）為殿後。眾中還有著力者么？
【English Translation】 English version 『Seeing both past and present.』 To further ask 『How?』 is truly foolish.
Entering the hall. 『A single mote arises, the whole earth is gathered.』 Raising his staff, he said, 『Now it is raised.』 Striking the Zen seat once, he said, 『Mountains, rivers, and the great earth block everyone's eyes.』 If there is anyone who is not deceived, come forth and speak. After a long pause, he said, 『The jade flute plays horizontally, moving heaven and earth, yet I have not encountered a single kindred spirit.』 Investigate!
Entering the hall. 『When body and mind are pure, all realms are pure; when all realms are pure, body and mind are pure.』 Do you know where old man Yun Gai (Cloud Cover) lands? Then he said, 『Lost money in the river, quickly retrieve it from the river.』 Descending from his seat.
Entering the hall. Yun Gai's (Cloud Cover) affairs are better left unsaid; Zen is like swallowing a chestnut bur. If you understand it here, the Dharma of the Buddha is as different as heaven and earth.
Entering the hall. 『The end of spring approaches, the four seas are clear, the wind is calm, and the waves are still.』 If one knows this, then tell me, how does one speak the phrase 『making the long short』? After a long pause, he said, 『Several times the black wind has overturned the great sea, yet I have never heard of a fishing boat capsizing.』 Investigate!
Entering the hall. Raising his staff and striking it once, he said, 『Great assembly, even if Bodhidharma (達磨) has true news, it still falls into your secondary understanding.』 Investigate!
Entering the hall. The scenery is suddenly clear, and the feelings of things are relaxed and joyful. Taking a step is also a thousand-bodied Maitreya (彌勒), and acting is everywhere Sakyamuni (釋迦). Manjusri (文殊) and Samantabhadra (普賢) are all here. If there is anyone in the assembly who is not deceived, then say, Yun Gai (Cloud Cover) sells flour mixed with bran. Even so, it's like a awl in a bag.
Entering the hall. 『With or without a phrase, like a vine clinging to a tree.』 Manjusri (文殊) and Vimalakirti (維摩) let go and return. Yun Gai (Cloud Cover) speaks like this, also watching old patterns. There are further words, do not speak them wrongly. Descending from his seat.
Entering the hall. 『Ah ha ha, what is it?』 Go to the monks' hall for tea. Descending from his seat.
Entering the hall. Throwing down his staff, he said, 『Old Sakyamuni (釋迦) sits in meditation, secretly laughing at Yun Gai's (Cloud Cover) random talk.』 Although the world is flat and peaceful, it is still making up for clumsiness with diligence. Investigate!
Attending the Ministry of Personnel's return to the temple, entering the hall. Old Sakyamuni (釋迦) is the vanguard, and the great Maitreya (彌勒) is the rearguard. Is there anyone in the assembly who is exerting effort?
。出衆來與云蓋著力看。如無。云蓋自逞神通也。三五日出入相看。首座大眾。爾且道。于者里還有隔礙底道理么。上座僧堂里展缽時。與上座同展。睡時與上座同睡。立地時與上座同立地。長者長法身。短者短法身。彌勒運用與去來何處有間隔。雖然如是。爾且道。云蓋在船頭在船尾。眾中還有靈利底衲僧。覷得見么。良久云。人人盡道平地險。登樓方覺遠山。青參。
上堂。雪雪處處光輝明皎潔。黃河凍鎖絕纖流。赫日光中須迸烈。須迸烈。那吒頂上吃蒺藜。金剛腳下流出血。參。
上堂。踏著秤錘硬似鐵。啞子得夢向誰說。須彌頂上浪滔天。大洋海底遭火爇。參。
上堂。拍禪床一下云。休戀江湖五六月。收取絲綸歸去來。
上堂。云蓋不會禪。只是愛噇眠。打動震天雷。不直半分錢。
上堂。舉古人一轉公案。佈施大眾。良久云。口只好吃飯。
楊岐詮老來。師上堂。拈花付囑有屈當人。面壁九年胡言漢語。當人分上把斷乾坤。且道。作么生是把斷乾坤底句。還有人道得么。如無。云蓋失利。楊畋提刑山下過。師出接。提刑乃問。和尚法嗣何人云慈明大師。楊云。見個什麼道理便法嗣他。云共缽盂吃飯。楊云。與么則不見也。師捺膝云。什麼處是不見。楊大笑師云。須
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本：
出衆的人來與云蓋（法號）較量，看誰更有力量。如果沒有真本事，云蓋就只能自炫神通罷了。三五日內，大家互相觀察。首座和大眾，你們說說看，這裡面還有什麼隔閡的道理嗎？上座僧人在僧堂里展開缽時，云蓋也與上座一同展開；睡覺時與上座一同睡；站立時與上座一同站立。高個子有高個子的法身，矮個子有矮個子的法身。彌勒菩薩的運用和來去，哪裡有什麼間隔呢？雖然如此，你們說說看，云蓋是在船頭還是在船尾？大眾中可有靈敏的僧人能看出來嗎？（停頓良久）人們都說平地有危險，登上高樓才覺得遠山青翠。
上堂說法。白雪皚皚，處處光輝明亮潔白。黃河冰凍，斷絕了細小的水流。要在赫赫日光中爆裂開來！要爆裂開來！那吒（佛教護法神）頭頂上吃蒺藜（一種帶刺的植物），金剛（佛教護法神）腳下流出血。參！
上堂說法。踏在秤錘上，感覺硬如鐵。啞巴做了夢，向誰訴說？須彌山（佛教中的聖山）頂上波浪滔天，大洋海底遭受烈火焚燒。參！
上堂說法。拍了一下禪床，說：『不要再留戀江湖五六月的美景了，收起釣魚的絲線，回去吧！』
上堂說法。云蓋不懂禪，只是喜歡睡覺。即使打出震天的雷聲，也不值半分錢。
上堂說法。舉出一個古人的公案，佈施給大眾。停頓良久，說：『嘴巴只能用來吃飯。』
楊岐詮（禪師）老了之後，云蓋禪師上堂說法。拈花微笑的典故，有委屈了當事人。面壁九年，達摩祖師說的都是胡言亂語。當事人應該把握住自己的命運。那麼，怎樣才是把握住自己命運的句子呢？還有人能說出來嗎？如果沒有，那就是云蓋失利了。楊畋（人名，官職為提刑）從山下經過，云蓋禪師出門迎接。楊畋於是問：『和尚的法嗣是誰？』云蓋禪師回答說：『是慈明大師。』楊畋問：『你見到了什麼道理就做法嗣呢？』云蓋禪師說：『我和他一起用缽吃飯。』楊畋說：『這麼說，你還是沒見到。』云蓋禪師拍了一下膝蓋，說：『什麼地方是沒見到？』楊畋大笑。云蓋禪師說：『必須……』
【English Translation】 English version:
Outstanding individuals come to compete with Yun Gai (Dharma name), to see who has more strength. If there is no real ability, Yun Gai can only show off his supernatural powers. Within three to five days, everyone observes each other. Abbot and the assembly, tell me, is there any reason for separation here? When the senior monk unfolds his bowl in the monks' hall, Yun Gai also unfolds his bowl with the senior monk; when sleeping, he sleeps with the senior monk; when standing, he stands with the senior monk. The tall have tall Dharmakayas, and the short have short Dharmakayas. Where is there any separation in Maitreya's (future Buddha) use and coming and going? Although this is so, tell me, is Yun Gai at the bow or the stern of the boat? Are there any clever monks in the assembly who can see it? (Pause for a long time) People all say that the flat ground is dangerous, and only when climbing a tall building do they realize that the distant mountains are green.
Giving a Dharma talk. Snowy white, everywhere is bright and pure. The Yellow River is frozen, cutting off the small streams. It must burst open in the blazing sunlight! It must burst open! Nata (Buddhist protector deity) eats tribulus (a thorny plant) on the top of his head, and Vajra (Buddhist protector deity) bleeds under his feet. Chan!
Giving a Dharma talk. Stepping on the weight of the steelyard feels as hard as iron. A mute has a dream, to whom can he tell it? Waves surge on the top of Mount Sumeru (sacred mountain in Buddhism), and the bottom of the ocean is burned by fire. Chan!
Giving a Dharma talk. Slapping the Zen bed once, he said: 'Do not linger in the beautiful scenery of the rivers and lakes in May and June, put away the fishing line and go back!'
Giving a Dharma talk. Yun Gai doesn't understand Chan, he just likes to sleep. Even if he makes a thunderous noise, it's not worth half a penny.
Giving a Dharma talk. He cites a koan from the ancients and gives it to the assembly. After a long pause, he says: 'The mouth can only be used for eating.'
When Yangqi Quan (Zen master) was old, Zen Master Yun Gai gave a Dharma talk. The story of holding up a flower and smiling has wronged the person involved. For nine years facing the wall, Bodhidharma (founder of Zen Buddhism) spoke nonsense. The person involved should grasp their own destiny. So, what is the sentence that grasps one's own destiny? Can anyone say it? If not, then Yun Gai has failed. Yang Tian (personal name, official title was Prefectural Judge) passed by the foot of the mountain, and Zen Master Yun Gai went out to greet him. Yang Tian then asked: 'Who is the abbot's Dharma heir?' Zen Master Yun Gai replied: 'It is Master Ciming.' Yang Tian asked: 'What principle did you see that made you become his Dharma heir?' Zen Master Yun Gai said: 'I ate with him using a bowl.' Yang Tian said: 'In that case, you still haven't seen it.' Zen Master Yun Gai slapped his knee and said: 'What place is it that I haven't seen?' Yang Tian laughed. Zen Master Yun Gai said: 'Must...'

【現代漢語翻譯】 是提刑（官名）開始允許的。 禪師說：『請進寺院燒香。』 楊億（人名）說：『等回來再說。』 禪師於是獻上茶和信物。 楊億說：『這個卻不需要。 有什麼乾巴巴的禪，希望稍微展示一點。』 禪師指著茶信說：『這個尚且不要，何況乾巴巴的禪。』 楊億猶豫不決。 禪師於是作了一首偈語：『顯示作王臣的道理，佛祖也感到為難。 爲了指明迷惑的根源，殺人無數。』 楊億說：『和尚，為什麼就地打劫？』 禪師說：『原來卻是我家裡人。』 楊億大笑。 禪師說：『山僧罪過，萬壽（山名）先傳捷報。』 傳捷報的人到了，禪師問：『萬壽峰前獅子吼，當事人如何應對？』 僧人說：『跳躍到三十三天。』 禪師說：『這樣說來，就像云蓋一樣直接向下看啊。』 僧人說：『草寇大敗。』 禪師說：『不再追究，先坐下喝茶。』 龍興孜老（人名）圓寂，僧人送信來。 禪師問：『世尊入滅時，棺槨顯示雙足。 和尚歸真有什麼相可以顯示？』 僧人無語。 禪師捶胸說：『蒼天啊蒼天！』 慈明（禪師名）圓寂，僧人送信來。 禪師召集眾人掛起畫像，舉行哀悼儀式。 禪師走到畫像前，提起坐具說：『大眾明白嗎？』 於是指著畫像說：『我以前行腳的時候，被這位老和尚將一百二十斤的擔子放在我身上。 如今總算天下太平了。』 又回頭看著大眾說：『明白嗎？』 眾人無語。 禪師捶胸說：『嗚呼哀哉！ 恭請享用祭品。』 慈明忌日設齋，眾人聚集。 禪師走到畫像前，用兩手捏拳放在頭上，用坐具劃了一下，畫了一個圓圈，然後燒香。 退後三步，作出女人的拜姿。 首座說：『不要裝怪。』 禪師說：『首座要做什麼？』 首座說：『和尚不要裝怪。』 禪師說：『兔子吃牛奶。』 第二座走上前，畫了一個圓圈，然後燒香。 也退後三步，作出女人的拜姿。 禪師走上前作出傾聽的姿勢。 第二座猶豫不決。 禪師打了他一掌說：『這個漆桶也胡亂做。』 護送武泉常老（人名）。
【English Translation】 English version: It was only with the approval of the Investigating Censor (official title) that this was permitted. The Master said, 'Please enter the monastery to burn incense.' Yang Yi (person's name) said, 'We'll talk about it when I return.' The Master then offered tea and gifts. Yang Yi said, 'These are not necessary. What is this dry, bland Chan? I hope you can show me a little.' The Master pointed to the tea and gifts, saying, 'Even these are not wanted, let alone dry, bland Chan.' Yang Yi hesitated. The Master then composed a verse: 'To show the principles of serving as king and minister, even the Buddhas and Patriarchs are at a loss. To point out the source of delusion, countless people are killed.' Yang Yi said, 'Venerable monk, why rob me on the spot?' The Master said, 'Turns out you are one of my own family.' Yang Yi laughed loudly. The Master said, 'This mountain monk is guilty; the news of victory from Longevity Mountain (mountain name) arrives first.' When the messenger arrived, the Master asked, 'The lion's roar before Longevity Peak, how should the person involved respond?' The monk said, 'Leap up to the thirty-third heaven.' The Master said, 'In that case, it's like looking directly down from a cloud cover.' The monk said, 'The bandit rebels are utterly defeated.' The Master said, 'No further investigation is needed; let's sit down and have tea.' Longxing Zi Lao (person's name) passed away, and a monk arrived with a letter. The Master asked, 'When the World Honored One entered Nirvana, the coffin displayed his crossed legs. What sign can you show of the Venerable Monk's return to truth?' The monk was speechless. The Master beat his chest and said, 'Oh, heavens, heavens!' Ciming (Chan master's name) passed away, and a monk arrived with a letter. The Master gathered the assembly, hung up the portrait, and held a memorial service. The Master walked to the portrait, raised his sitting cloth, and said, 'Does the assembly understand?' Then, pointing to the portrait, he said, 'When I was traveling in the past, this old monk placed a burden of one hundred and twenty pounds on my shoulders. Now, finally, there is peace under heaven.' He turned to look at the assembly and said, 'Do you understand?' The assembly was silent. The Master beat his chest and said, 'Alas! May you enjoy the offerings.' A vegetarian feast was held on the anniversary of Ciming's death, and the assembly gathered. The Master walked to the portrait, made fists with both hands and placed them on his head, drew a circle with the sitting cloth, and then burned incense. He stepped back three steps and made a woman's bow. The head monk said, 'Stop acting strangely.' The Master said, 'What is the head monk doing?' The head monk said, 'Venerable monk, stop acting strangely.' The Master said, 'A rabbit drinks milk.' The second monk stepped forward, drew a circle, and then burned incense. He also stepped back three steps and made a woman's bow. The Master stepped forward and made a listening gesture. The second monk hesitated. The Master slapped him and said, 'This lacquer bucket is also acting randomly.' Sending off Wuquan Chang Lao (person's name).

【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本：出門時才詢問，剛出門便開始計劃著還鄉。到家時要如何說一句呢？泉禪師說：『和尚您很擅長住持（寺院）。』楊岐禪師說：『既然這樣，那麼就身隨寒冷的影子而去，腳上的大草鞋也顯得寬大了。』泉禪師說：『和尚您很擅長開墾田地。』楊岐禪師說：『兔子又何曾離開過自己的洞穴呢？』 有一天，有三位新來的僧人。楊岐禪師問道：『三人同行，必有一智。』然後提起坐具說：『參頭（僧職，指資歷較深的僧人）上座，說說這個叫什麼？』僧人回答說：『坐具。』楊岐禪師說：『真的嗎？』僧人說是。楊岐禪師說：『叫作什麼？』僧人回答說：『坐具。』楊岐禪師環顧左右說：『參頭確實有眼力。』 又問第二位僧人：『欲行千里，一步為初。如何是最初一句？』僧人回答說：『到了和尚您這裡，怎敢輕易出手。』楊岐禪師用手劃了一下。僧人說：『明白了。』楊岐禪師張開雙手。僧人猶豫不決。楊岐禪師說：『明白了。』 又問第三位上座：『最近從什麼地方來？』僧人回答說：『南源。』楊岐禪師說：『楊岐我今天被上座您看穿了。先坐下喝茶吧。』 有一天，來了七位新到的僧人。楊岐禪師問道：『陣勢已經擺圓，哪位有作為的戰將不出來與楊岐我相見？』僧人拿起坐具就打。楊岐禪師說：『真有作為。』僧人又打。楊岐禪師說：『一個坐具，兩個坐具，又該如何呢？』僧人猶豫不決。楊岐禪師背過身去站立。僧人又打。楊岐禪師說：『你說楊岐我的話頭落在什麼地方了？』僧人指著面前說：『在這裡。』楊岐禪師說：『三十年後遇到明眼人，可不要錯誤地舉薦。先坐下喝茶吧。』 有一天，道吾（地名）寺的供養主（施主）派人送信來。楊岐禪師問道：『春雨連綿不斷，沒有停歇的時候，不觸動波瀾，試著說一句看。』供養主說：『剛才已經送信了。』楊岐禪師說：『這個是道吾寺的，那個是化主（負責募化的人）的？』供養主指著說：『春雨連綿不斷。』楊岐禪師拍手大笑說：『不值半分錢。』供養主便喝斥。楊岐禪師說：『這個瞎漢，還說不值半分錢，又發什麼脾氣？』供養主拍了一下手。楊岐禪師說：『先坐下喝茶吧。』 有一天，石霜（地名）寺的供養主來了。楊岐禪師問道：『征行戰
【English Translation】 English version: Upon leaving, he asks. As soon as he leaves, he plans to return home. What should be said upon arriving home? Zen Master Quan said, 'The abbot (referring to Yangqi) is good at managing the monastery.' Zen Master Yangqi said, 'If that's the case, then the body follows the cold shadow, and the large straw sandals on the feet feel wide.' Zen Master Quan said, 'The abbot is good at cultivating fields.' Zen Master Yangqi said, 'When has a rabbit ever left its burrow?' One day, three new monks arrived. Zen Master Yangqi asked, 'When three people walk together, there must be one with wisdom.' Then, he picked up a sitting cloth (zu ju) and said, 'Elder (can tou) of the head seat (referring to a senior monk), what is this called?' The monk replied, 'A sitting cloth.' Zen Master Yangqi said, 'Really?' The monk said yes. Zen Master Yangqi said, 'What is it called?' The monk replied, 'A sitting cloth.' Zen Master Yangqi looked around and said, 'The head seat truly has eyes (insight).' He then asked the second monk, 'To travel a thousand miles, the first step is the beginning. What is the very first sentence?' The monk replied, 'Having arrived at the abbot's place, how dare I easily make a move?' Zen Master Yangqi made a sweeping gesture with his hand. The monk said, 'Understood.' Zen Master Yangqi spread out both hands. The monk hesitated. Zen Master Yangqi said, 'Understood.' He then asked the third senior monk, 'Where did you come from recently?' The monk replied, 'Nanyuan.' Zen Master Yangqi said, 'Yangqi has been seen through by you today. Please sit down and have some tea.' One day, seven new monks arrived. Zen Master Yangqi asked, 'The formation is already complete. Which capable general will come out of the formation to meet Yangqi?' A monk picked up his sitting cloth and struck. Zen Master Yangqi said, 'Capable indeed.' The monk struck again. Zen Master Yangqi said, 'One sitting cloth, two sitting cloths, what about that?' The monk hesitated. Zen Master Yangqi turned his back and stood. The monk struck again. Zen Master Yangqi said, 'Where do you say Yangqi's topic (hua tou) has landed?' The monk pointed in front of him and said, 'Here.' Zen Master Yangqi said, 'Thirty years from now, when you meet someone with clear eyes, do not recommend it wrongly. Please sit down and have some tea.' One day, the patron (gongyang zhu) of Daowu (place name) Monastery sent a letter. Zen Master Yangqi asked, 'The spring rain falls continuously without ceasing. Without stirring up waves, try to say a sentence.' The patron said, 'I have already sent a letter.' Zen Master Yangqi said, 'This is Daowu's, and that is the fundraiser's (hua zhu)?' The patron pointed and said, 'The spring rain falls continuously.' Zen Master Yangqi clapped his hands and laughed, saying, 'Not worth half a cent.' The patron then scolded. Zen Master Yangqi said, 'This blind man, saying it's not worth half a cent, what is he getting angry about?' The patron clapped once. Zen Master Yangqi said, 'Please sit down and have some tea.' One day, the patron of Shishuang (place name) Monastery arrived. Zen Master Yangqi asked, 'The expeditionary war

【English Translation】 English version: (A Chan master) pretended to pass by (Yangqi Fanghui's monastery). Now that the camp has been set up, why not fight with Yangqi Cao (referring to Yangqi Fanghui)? The master (himself) said: 'In the past, I mistakenly sought (the truth) on the road, but today I personally met an old master.' (A) monk said: 'Yangqi (Fanghui) has temporarily lost a small battle.' The master then shouted loudly. The monk said: 'What are you doing randomly?' The master劃 (hua, drew) his seat. The monk said: 'The bell after the齋 (zhai, vegetarian) meal (has already rung).' The master said: 'Hush (expressing disapproval).' The monk said: 'Besides this, there is something else (mystery) in it.' The master was speechless. The monk said: 'A defeated general is not killed, let's sit down and have tea for now.' The master asked the monk: 'Yangqi's road is remote, where did you come from with your high steps?' The monk said: 'You are fortunate to be an adult (referring to having a lot of capacity).' The master said: 'Ah?' The monk said: 'You are fortunate to be an adult.' The master said: 'Yangqi (Fanghui) has been deaf recently. Let's sit down and have tea for now.' The master asked the monk: 'The autumn colors are lingering, where did you leave from this morning?' The monk said: 'Last summer in Shanglan (place name).' The master said: 'How do you say a sentence that does not involve the journey?' The monk said: 'Two cases.' The master said: 'Thank you for your answer.' The monk then shouted loudly. The master said: 'Where did you learn these empty gestures from?' The monk said: 'It is difficult to deceive the venerable monks with discerning eyes.' The master said: 'In that case, Yangqi (Fanghui) will go with you.' The monk hesitated. The master said: 'Considering that you are a fellow villager, I will give you thirty blows here.' The master asked the monk: 'The clouds are deep and the road is remote, where did you come from with your high steps?' The monk said: 'The sky has no four walls.' The master said: 'How many straw sandals have you worn out?' The monk then shouted loudly. The master said: 'What do you want to do with one shout and two shouts?' The monk said: 'Look at this old monk.' The master said: 'The staff is not here, let's sit down and have tea for now.' The master asked the monk: 'Where did you leave from this morning, with the fallen leaves piled up like clouds?' The monk said: 'Guanyin (referring to Guanyin Bodhisattva).' The master said: 'How do you say a sentence under Guanyin's feet?' The monk said: 'I have already met just now.' The master said: 'How is the matter of meeting?' The monk was speechless. The master said: 'Let the second monk say it on behalf of the參頭 (cantou, head monk).' The monk was also speechless. The master said: 'We are both dull to each other.' One day, eight new monks arrived. The master asked: 'The one-word formation has been set up, why doesn't the expert general come out to meet Yangqi (Fanghui)?' The monk said: 'The master takes care of the topic.' The master said: 'Yangqi (Fanghui) has fled today, carrying his horse and dragging his flag.' The monk said: 'The new initiates are beating the retreat drum.' The master said: 'Speak!' The monk hesitated.

The master said. The monk clapped his hands once. The master said, 'Thank you, venerable sir, for answering.' The monk was silent. The master said, 'If the head is not fierce, it will implicate the entire army. Please sit down and have some tea.' Essential Sayings of Chan Master Daowu Zhen of Tanzhou On the day of opening the Dharma hall, after the declaration and presentation of the memorial, he said, 'Please, venerable abbot, do not be modest; expound for the assembly.' The master said, 'Even saying it like that falls into the third entanglement.' Then he ascended the seat. After the chief monk struck the gavel, the master then said, 'To observe it like this is to be temporarily attached; if discussing the profound and subtle, seeing and not seeing are simultaneously blind.' At that time, a monk asked, 'I have heard the master say that the two words 'brightness' and 'darkness' cut off the flow of the masses. Please, master, speak directly.' The master said, 'How should I speak?' The monk said, 'As a master.' The master then shouted. The monk clapped his hands. The master said, 'Exactly.' He asked, 'Three thousand swordsmen have no use; how is it when the pearl curtain is rolled up to celebrate peace?' The master said, 'Filling up the emptiness within, opening up before the sun and moon.' The monk advanced, saying, 'In that case, the solitary moon is clear beside the Thousand Flower Cliff, and the great banner dances before the Five Phoenix Tower.' The master said, 'White clouds for thousands and thousands of miles.' The monk flicked his sleeve and returned to the assembly. The master said, 'Blind.' He asked, 'A single horse and spear; please, master, arrange the formation.' The master said, 'Divide it into two sections.' The monk clapped his hands. The master said, 'What are you doing again?' The monk was silent. The master shouted, saying, 'Blind fool.' Then he said, 'One question and one answer have no end. Even if you ask until the future, I will answer until the future. Therefore, the ancients called it the inexhaustible Dharma treasury (wujin fazang, inexhaustible treasure of Buddhist teachings), and also called it the unobstructed gate of eloquence (wuai bianmen, unimpeded gate of eloquence). Now, is it called the inexhaustible Dharma treasury, or is it the unobstructed gate of eloquence? Is there anyone who can say it? Try to come out and say it. If not, this staff will speak for you all.' He drew a line with the staff and said, 'Understand it all at once.' He descended from the seat. The master was at Beichan. Ascending the hall, he said, 'The green mountains are steep and the white sun is like a shuttle. The Dragon Gate has no guests, and the bustling market has many people. Everyone, tell me, how many taxpayers are there in the current vegetable market?' At that time, a monk came out and bowed. The master said, 'There is one in Beichan Temple.' The monk asked, 'Not falling into duality, please'

【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 僧人趕緊問道。禪師說：『前三點后三點。』僧人便大喝一聲。禪師也大喝一聲。僧人禮拜。禪師說：『有你這麼瞎的漢子。』 禪師上堂說法，引用洞山禪師的話說：『五臺山上云蒸飯，佛殿階前狗尿天，幡竿頭上煎䭔子，三個猢猻夜播錢。』禪師說：『老衲卻不這樣說，三面貍奴腳踏月，兩頭白牯手拏煙，戴冠碧兔立庭柏，脫殼烏龜飛上天。』老衲的葛藤都被你們這些人看破了。洞山老人真是奇特。雖然如此，也只不過走了三步四步，跳不過七跳八跳。那麼，譊訛（náo é，爭吵，喧譁）在哪裡呢？老衲今天不惜眉毛，一時佈施。』良久說：『叮嚀反而損害你的德行，無言才是真正的功德。任憑滄海如何變化，終究不會為你所通。』 上堂說法：『拗斷秤桿，用什麼來確定斤兩？拿掉缽盂、匙子、筷子，用什麼來吃粥飯？不如到三家村裡東卜西卜，忽然卜到脫卻鼻孔。』 上堂說法，拿起拄杖敲一下，喝一聲說：『你們還肯嗎？你們如果肯，心肝五臟、頭目髓腦一時都屬於老衲。你們如果不肯，心肝五臟、頭目髓腦一時都分付出去。』扔下拄杖，便下座。 上堂說法：『一切智智清凈，無二無二分。』又說：『無法可說是名說法。』那麼，龍宮海藏（lóng gōng hǎi zàng，佛教指深奧的佛法）從哪裡得來？』良久說：『三要點開天地眼，一曲無私豁古今。』 上堂說法，引用僧人問首山禪師：『如何是佛？』首山禪師說：『新婦騎驢阿家牽。』禪師於是作頌說：『手提巴鼻腳踏尾，仰面看天聽流水。天明送出路傍邊，夜靜還歸茅屋裡。』 上堂說法：『直上直下如何指南？十字縱橫怎麼生出綱領？』良久說：
【English Translation】 English version: Monk quickly asked. The Master said, 'Three dots before, three dots after.' The monk then shouted. The Master also shouted. The monk prostrated. The Master said, 'Such a blind fellow.' The Master ascended the hall and cited Dongshan (Dòngshān) saying, 'On Mount Wutai (Wǔtái) clouds steam rice, in front of the Buddha hall a dog urinates at the sky, on top of the banner pole fry pancakes, three monkeys sow money at night.' The Master said, 'This old monk is not like that. A three-faced civet cat treads on the moon, a two-headed white bull grasps smoke in its hands, a crowned green rabbit stands by the courtyard cypress, a shelled turtle flies up to the sky.' This old monk's entanglements have all been seen through by you all. Old man Dongshan is truly peculiar. Although it is so, he only walks three or four steps, and doesn't jump more than seven or eight times. Then, where is the clamor (náo é)? This old monk does not spare his eyebrows today, giving them away all at once.' After a long while, he said, 'Repeated reminders harm your virtue, silence is true merit. Let the sea change as it may, it will never be open for you.' Ascending the hall, he said, 'Break the scales, what will you use to determine the weight? Take away the bowl, spoon, and chopsticks, what will you use to eat porridge? It is better to divine east and west in the Three Families Village, and suddenly divine to lose your nose.' Ascending the hall, he tapped the staff once and shouted, 'Are you willing or not? If you are willing, your heart, liver, five viscera, head, eyes, marrow, and brain all belong to this old monk at once. If you are not willing, your heart, liver, five viscera, head, eyes, marrow, and brain are all given away at once.' He threw down the staff and descended from the seat. Ascending the hall, he said, 'All-knowing wisdom is pure, without duality, without division.' He also said, 'No Dharma can be spoken, which is called speaking Dharma.' Then, where does the Dragon Palace Sea Treasury (lóng gōng hǎi zàng, Buddhist term referring to profound Buddhist teachings) come from?' After a long while, he said, 'Three essentials open the eyes of heaven and earth, one impartial tune illuminates the past and present.' Ascending the hall, he cited a monk asking Head Mountain (Shǒu Shān), 'What is Buddha?' Head Mountain said, 'The new bride rides a donkey, the mother-in-law leads it.' The Master then composed a verse, 'Hand holding the handle, feet stepping on the tail, looking up at the sky, listening to the flowing water. Send her out to the roadside at dawn, return to the thatched hut in the quiet night.' Ascending the hall, he said, 'How to point south when going straight up and down? How to create an outline when the ten directions are crisscrossing?' After a long silence, he said:
風散亂云長空靜。夜深明月照窗前。
上堂。師子兒哮吼。龍馬駒𨁝跳。古佛鏡中明。三山孤月皎。乃作舞下座。
上堂。乃喚維那。令昨日四人新到人事。新到才出。師乃云。雖是小過。令人大怒。新到才展坐具。師云。當爲空王如來作禮。便歸方丈。
上堂云。遍界元正又逢令節。問諸禪人。是生是滅。紅日長輝。玉輪圓缺。疾焰過鋒。眼中電掣。髑髏常吟。是決不決。汝等諸人。還拜父母墳靈也無。良久云。人行荒草里。鬼哭密林間。
上堂。僧問。凝然便會時如何。師云。老鼠尾上帶研槌。問王老夜燒錢。意旨如何。師云。白日看星月。僧擬議。師云會么。僧云不會。師乃云。王老夜燒錢。白日看星月。磕額禮慈尊。手把冥香爇。
上堂。拈拄杖卓一卓喝一喝。乃云。一喝一卓。眼生八角。鼻孔吒沙。眉毛卓朔。若也會得。西山月落。若也不會。胡餅䬪饦。下座。
上堂。僧問。如何是第一句。師云。直下衝雲際。東山絕往來。問如何是第二句。師云。面前渠不見。背後稱冤苦。問如何是第三句。師云。頭上一堆塵。腳下三尺土。問如何是佛。師云。洞庭無蓋。問古人道。來時不將絲頭來。去時不將絲頭去。意旨如何。師云。三生六十劫未是長期。僧無語。師云會么。
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 風吹散了繚亂的雲朵，長空顯得格外寧靜。深夜時分，明亮的月光照耀在窗前。
上堂說法。師子兒（比喻有力量的禪者）發出怒吼，龍馬駒（比喻精力充沛的修行者）歡快跳躍。古佛的鏡子中一片明亮，三山（指傳說中的三座仙山）上空的孤月皎潔無瑕。於是，禪師起舞后走下法座。
上堂說法。禪師叫來維那（寺院中的職務，負責管理僧眾事務），詢問昨天新來的四位僧人情況。新來的僧人剛出來，禪師就說：『雖然是小小的過失，卻會令人大發雷霆。』新來的僧人剛要展開坐具，禪師說：『應當為 King 空王如來（佛的稱號）作禮。』說完便回到方丈。
上堂說法。禪師說：『普天之下都是新年，又逢美好的節日。』問各位禪人：『這是生還是滅？』紅色的太陽長久地照耀，圓潤的月亮時而圓滿時而殘缺。快速的火焰超過刀鋒，眼中閃過電光。髑髏（死人頭骨）常常吟唱，這是決斷還是不決斷？你們這些人，還去拜祭父母的墳墓嗎？』良久，禪師說：『人們行走在荒草之中，鬼魂在茂密的樹林間哭泣。』
上堂說法。有僧人問：『當凝然不動時，如何領會？』禪師說：『老鼠尾巴上帶著墨水研槌。』問：『王老晚上燒錢，意旨如何？』禪師說：『白天觀看星月。』僧人猶豫不決。禪師說：『明白了嗎？』僧人說：『不明白。』禪師於是說：『王老晚上燒錢，白天觀看星月。磕頭禮拜慈悲的佛，手裡拿著冥香點燃。』
上堂說法。禪師拿起拄杖敲擊一下，然後大喝一聲。於是說：『一敲一喝，眼睛生出八個角，鼻孔里充滿沙子，眉毛豎立起來。如果能夠領會，西山的月亮就會落下。如果不能領會，那就是胡餅䬪饦（一種食物）。』說完走下法座。
上堂說法。有僧人問：『如何是第一句？』禪師說：『直接衝向雲霄，東山斷絕往來。』問：『如何是第二句？』禪師說：『面前的人看不見，背後卻在抱怨。』問：『如何是第三句？』禪師說：『頭頂上堆積著塵土，腳下是三尺土地。』問：『如何是佛？』禪師說：『洞庭湖沒有蓋子。』問：『古人說，來的時候不帶來一絲線頭，去的時候也不帶走一絲線頭，意旨如何？』禪師說：『三生六十劫還不是長久的時間。』僧人無語。禪師說：『明白了嗎？』
【English Translation】 English version: The wind scatters the chaotic clouds, and the long sky is exceptionally serene. In the deep night, the bright moonlight shines before the window.
Ascending the hall for Dharma talk. The lion cub (metaphor for a powerful Chan practitioner) roars, the dragon-horse foal (metaphor for an energetic practitioner) leaps joyfully. The ancient Buddha's mirror is bright, and the solitary moon above the Three Mountains (referring to the legendary three immortal mountains) is pure and clear. Thereupon, the Chan master dances and descends from the seat.
Ascending the hall for Dharma talk. The Chan master calls the director (a position in the monastery, responsible for managing the affairs of the monks) and asks about the four newly arrived monks from yesterday. As the new monks come forward, the Chan master says: 'Although it is a small fault, it can cause great anger.' As the new monks are about to spread their sitting cloths, the Chan master says: 'You should pay respects to the King 空王如來 (Kongwang Tathagata, an epithet of the Buddha).' Having said this, he returns to his abbot's chamber.
Ascending the hall for Dharma talk. The Chan master says: 'The whole world is New Year, and we meet again with a beautiful festival.' He asks the Chan practitioners: 'Is this birth or extinction?' The red sun shines for a long time, and the round moon is sometimes full and sometimes waning. The swift flame surpasses the blade, and lightning flashes in the eyes. The skull constantly chants, is this decisive or indecisive? Do you all still visit your parents' graves?' After a long pause, the Chan master says: 'People walk in the wilderness of weeds, and ghosts cry in the dense forest.'
Ascending the hall for Dharma talk. A monk asks: 'When one is still and silent, how does one understand?' The Chan master says: 'Carrying an ink grinding mallet on a rat's tail.' He asks: 'Old Wang burns money at night, what is the meaning?' The Chan master says: 'Watching the stars and moon during the day.' The monk hesitates. The Chan master says: 'Do you understand?' The monk says: 'I do not understand.' The Chan master then says: 'Old Wang burns money at night, watching the stars and moon during the day. Bowing and paying respects to the compassionate Buddha, holding incense and lighting it.'
Ascending the hall for Dharma talk. The Chan master picks up the staff, strikes it once, and then shouts once. Then he says: 'One strike and one shout, eyes grow eight corners, nostrils are filled with sand, eyebrows stand up. If you can understand, the moon on the Western Mountain will set. If you cannot understand, it is just a Hubing 䬪饦 (a type of food).' Having said this, he descends from the seat.
Ascending the hall for Dharma talk. A monk asks: 'What is the first phrase?' The Chan master says: 'Directly soaring into the clouds, the Eastern Mountain cuts off all coming and going.' He asks: 'What is the second phrase?' The Chan master says: 'The person in front cannot see, but complains behind the back.' He asks: 'What is the third phrase?' The Chan master says: 'A pile of dust on the head, three feet of earth under the feet.' He asks: 'What is Buddha?' The Chan master says: 'Dongting Lake has no lid.' He asks: 'The ancients said, when coming, one does not bring a thread, and when going, one does not take a thread, what is the meaning?' The Chan master says: 'Three lives and sixty kalpas are not a long time.' The monk is speechless. The Chan master says: 'Do you understand?'
僧云不會。師云。洞庭八百里未是闊。問如何是真如體。師云。夜叉屈膝眼睛黑。問如何是真如用。師云。金剛杵打鐵山摧。問如何是透出乾坤句。師云。棒下最分明。僧無語。師乃云。透出乾坤句。未語先剖陳。屈躬來更問。棒下取分明。
上堂。眾集。師以拄杖擲下來。隨後跳下。眾擬散。師乃召大眾。眾回首。師乃云。為老僧收取拄杖。便歸方丈。
上堂云。開心碗子盛將來。無縫合盤合取去。擬思量何劫悟。看取眉毛有幾許。去。
上堂云。夜來雷聲震地。今朝細雨霏霏。乾枯滋潤萬物萌芽。且道。嘉州大象髭鬚長得多少。還有道得者么。若也道得。陜府鐵牛。是常不輕菩薩。若道不得。土宿拽脫爾鼻孔。
上堂。若據祖令。到這裡總須茫然。放老僧一線。且向眉睫里東覷西覷。
上堂。僧問。如何是第一玄。師云。釋尊光射阿難肩。如何是第二玄。師云。孤輪眾象攢。如何是第三玄。師云。泣向枯桑淚漣漣。如何是第一要。師云。最好精粗照。如何是第二要。師云。閃爍乾坤光晃耀。如何是第三要。師云。夾路青松老。問如何是先照後用。師云。語路分明說。投針不迴避。如何是先用后照。師云。金剛覿面親分付。話道分明好好陳。如何是照用同時。師云。祖佛道中行路異
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 僧人說不明白。 師父說：『洞庭湖八百里也不算寬廣。』 問：『什麼是真如體？』 師父說：『夜叉（守護神）屈膝，眼睛是黑色的。』 問：『什麼是真如用？』 師父說：『金剛杵（一種法器）打下去，鐵山都會崩摧。』 問：『如何是透出乾坤的語句？』 師父說：『棒下最分明。』 僧人無話可說。 師父於是說：『透出乾坤句，未語先剖陳。屈躬來更問，棒下取分明。』
上堂說法。 眾人聚集。 師父用拄杖擲在地上，隨後跳下法座。 眾人想要散去。 師父於是叫住大眾。 眾人回頭。 師父於是說：『替老僧我把拄杖撿起來。』 便回方丈去了。
上堂說法：『開心碗子盛將來，無縫合盤合取去。擬思量何劫悟？看取眉毛有幾許。去。』 （意思是：敞開心扉，用完整的盤子盛裝。如果還想思量，要到什麼時候才能覺悟？看看自己的眉毛有多少根吧。走吧。）
上堂說法：『夜裡雷聲震天動地，今早細雨紛紛。乾枯的土地得到滋潤，萬物萌發。 那麼，嘉州大佛的鬍鬚長了多少？ 還有誰能說得出來嗎？ 如果能說得出來，陜府的鐵牛就是常不輕菩薩（永遠不輕視任何人的菩薩）。 如果說不出來，就讓土宿星（星宿名）拽掉你的鼻孔。』
上堂說法。 如果按照祖師的規矩，到這裡總要茫然不知所措。 老僧我放一條生路，且在眉毛眼睛裡東張西望。
上堂說法。 僧人問：『什麼是第一玄？』 師父說：『釋尊（釋迦牟尼佛）光芒照耀阿難（佛陀的十大弟子之一）的肩膀。』 問：『什麼是第二玄？』 師父說：『孤輪眾象攢。』 問：『什麼是第三玄？』 師父說：『泣向枯桑淚漣漣。』 問：『什麼是第一要？』 師父說：『最好精粗照。』 問：『什麼是第二要？』 師父說：『閃爍乾坤光晃耀。』 問：『什麼是第三要？』 師父說：『夾路青松老。』 問：『什麼是先照後用？』 師父說：『語路分明說，投針不迴避。』 問：『什麼是先用后照？』 師父說：『金剛（佛教護法神）覿面親分付，話道分明好好陳。』 問：『什麼是照用同時？』 師父說：『祖佛道中行路異。』
【English Translation】 English version A monk said he didn't understand. The master said, 'Eight hundred miles of Dongting Lake is not wide.' He asked, 'What is the true nature?' The master said, 'The Yaksha (guardian deity) kneels, and his eyes are black.' He asked, 'What is the function of true nature?' The master said, 'The vajra (a ritual object) strikes, and the iron mountain crumbles.' He asked, 'What is the phrase that penetrates the universe?' The master said, 'It is most clear under the stick.' The monk was speechless. The master then said, 'The phrase that penetrates the universe is explained before it is spoken. Bowing down to ask again, clarity is obtained under the stick.'
Ascending the hall to preach. The assembly gathered. The master threw his staff to the ground and then jumped down from the seat. The assembly was about to disperse. The master then called out to the assembly. The assembly turned their heads. The master then said, 'Collect the staff for this old monk.' Then he returned to his room.
Ascending the hall to preach: 'Fill the open-hearted bowl, gather it into a seamless plate. If you intend to ponder, when will you awaken? See how many eyebrows you have. Go.' (Meaning: Open your heart, use a complete plate to hold it. If you still want to ponder, when will you awaken? Look at how many eyebrows you have. Go.)
Ascending the hall to preach: 'Last night, the thunder shook the earth, and this morning, the fine rain drizzled. The dry land is nourished, and all things sprout. Then, how long is the mustache of the Giant Buddha of Jiazhou? Is there anyone who can say? If you can say it, the Iron Ox of Shanfu is the Bodhisattva Never Disparaging (a bodhisattva who never disparages anyone). If you can't say it, let the Tusu star (name of a star) tear off your nostrils.'
Ascending the hall to preach. According to the ancestral rules, one should be at a loss here. This old monk will give you a way out, and look around in the eyebrows and eyes.
Ascending the hall to preach. A monk asked, 'What is the first mystery?' The master said, 'Shakyamuni (Buddha) shines his light on Ananda's (one of the Buddha's ten great disciples) shoulder.' He asked, 'What is the second mystery?' The master said, 'A solitary wheel gathers many elephants.' He asked, 'What is the third mystery?' The master said, 'Weeping towards the withered mulberry, tears streaming down.' He asked, 'What is the first essential?' The master said, 'It is best to illuminate both the refined and the coarse.' He asked, 'What is the second essential?' The master said, 'The light shines brightly throughout the universe.' He asked, 'What is the third essential?' The master said, 'Old green pines line the road.' He asked, 'What is illumination before function?' The master said, 'The path of words is clearly spoken, and one does not avoid throwing a needle.' He asked, 'What is function before illumination?' The master said, 'The Vajra (Buddhist protector deity) personally entrusts face to face, and the words are clearly and well presented.' He asked, 'What is simultaneous illumination and function?' The master said, 'The path of the ancestral Buddhas is different.'
。森羅影里不留身。如何是照用不同時。師云。清涼金色光先照。峨嵋銀界一時鋪。乃云。參須實參。學須實學。又須要明古人血脈。且道。作么生是古人血脈。良久云。智不到處切忌道著。
上堂云。寒風浩浩無時節。浪打懸崖石頭裂。洞庭湖裡釣船傾雪路行人山路絕。清風月白透幽關。畢竟以何為妙訣。下座。
上堂。向上一路千聖不傳。學者勞形如猿捉影。爾等諸人。還明得這時節么。若明得去。天上人間堪受供養。若明不得。閻羅老子眼目分明。
上堂。汝等諸人。盡學佛法。非即便言非。是即便言是。直須緇素分明。不得錯認定盤星好。珍重。
上堂。有僧問。如何是常照。師云。針鋒上須彌。云如何是寂照。師云。眉毛裡海水。云如何是本來照。師云。草鞋裡踣跳。師乃云。常照寂照本來照。草鞋底下常踣跳。要會鋒針上須彌。眉中海水常渺渺。
上堂云。如天普蓋似地普擎。三世諸佛總在爾鼻孔里。三十年後不得辜負老僧。
上堂。普化明打暗打。布袋橫撒豎撒。石室行者踏碓。因甚忘卻下腳。
上堂。舉僧問大隨。劫火洞然大千俱壞。未審這個壞不壞。隨云壞。僧云。與么則隨他去。隨云。隨他去。又問龍濟。劫火洞然大千俱壞。未審這個壞不壞。濟云
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本：
『森羅影里不留身』，如何在『照』和『用』不同時體現？師父說：『清涼金色光先照，峨嵋銀界一時鋪。』於是說：『參禪要實參，學法要實學，又要明白古人的血脈。』那麼，什麼是古人的血脈？』良久，師父說：『智力達不到的地方切忌妄加評論。』 上堂說法：『寒風凜冽沒有時節，海浪拍打懸崖石頭碎裂。洞庭湖裡釣船傾覆，雪地行人山路斷絕。清風明月照亮幽暗關隘，究竟用什麼作為妙訣？』說完下座。 上堂說法：『向上一路，千聖不傳，學者勞神費力如同猿猴捉影。你們這些人，還明白這個時節嗎？如果明白，天上人間都堪受供養。如果不明白，閻羅老子眼睛明亮得很。』 上堂說法：『你們這些人，都在學習佛法，不對就說不對，對就說對，一定要黑白分明，不要錯認了定盤星。』珍重！ 上堂說法：有僧人問：『什麼是常照？』師父說：『針尖上的須彌山（Sumeru，佛教宇宙觀中的中心山）。』僧人問：『什麼是寂照？』師父說：『眉毛里的海水。』僧人問：『什麼是本來照？』師父說：『草鞋裡跌倒。』師父於是說：『常照、寂照、本來照，草鞋底下常跌倒。要領會針尖上的須彌山，眉毛中的海水常常渺茫。』 上堂說法：『如同天普遍覆蓋，如同地普遍承載，三世諸佛都在你們的鼻孔里。三十年後不要辜負老僧。』 上堂說法：『普化（Puhua，唐代禪僧）明打暗打，布袋和尚（Budai，彌勒菩薩的化身）橫撒豎撒。石室行者踏碓，為什麼忘記放下腳？』 上堂說法：舉例說，有僧人問大隨（Dasui，禪宗祖師）：『劫火洞然，大千世界都壞了，請問這個（指本性）壞不壞？』大隨說：『壞。』僧人說：『既然這樣，那就隨它去吧。』大隨說：『隨它去。』又問龍濟（Longji，禪宗祖師）：『劫火洞然，大千世界都壞了，請問這個壞不壞？』龍濟說：
【English Translation】 English version:
『Not leaving the body in the midst of myriad phenomena.』 How is it that 『illumination』 and 『function』 are not simultaneous? The master said, 『The cool, golden light shines first; the silver realm of Mount Emei (Emei, a famous mountain in China) is spread out all at once.』 Then he said, 『Practice must be real practice; learning must be real learning. Moreover, you must understand the bloodline of the ancients.』 So, what is the bloodline of the ancients?』 After a long pause, the master said, 『Where wisdom does not reach, be careful not to comment rashly.』 Entering the hall, he said, 『The cold wind is fierce and without season; waves crash against the cliffs, and the rocks break. Fishing boats capsize in Dongting Lake (Dongting Lake, a large lake in China), and snowy roads cut off travelers in the mountains. A clear breeze and bright moon penetrate the secluded pass. Ultimately, what is the wonderful key?』 Having said this, he descended from the seat. Entering the hall, he said, 『The path beyond, a thousand sages have not transmitted it; students exhaust themselves like monkeys grasping at shadows. Do you all understand this moment? If you understand, you are worthy of offerings in heaven and on earth. If you do not understand, Yama (Yama, the lord of death) is clear-eyed.』 Entering the hall, he said, 『All of you are studying the Buddha Dharma. If it is not right, then say it is not right; if it is right, then say it is right. You must clearly distinguish between black and white; do not mistake the balance weight.』 Treasure this! Entering the hall, he said, a monk asked, 『What is constant illumination (Changzhao)?』 The master said, 『Mount Sumeru (Sumeru, the central mountain in Buddhist cosmology) on the tip of a needle.』 The monk asked, 『What is silent illumination (Jizhao)?』 The master said, 『The ocean in the eyebrows.』 The monk asked, 『What is original illumination (Benlaizhao)?』 The master said, 『Stumbling in straw sandals.』 The master then said, 『Constant illumination, silent illumination, original illumination; constantly stumbling beneath straw sandals. To understand Mount Sumeru on the tip of a needle, the ocean in the eyebrows is always vast and boundless.』 Entering the hall, he said, 『Like the sky universally covering, like the earth universally supporting, all the Buddhas of the three worlds are in your nostrils. After thirty years, do not let down this old monk.』 Entering the hall, he said, 『Puhua (Puhua, a Chan monk of the Tang Dynasty) strikes openly and strikes secretly; Budai (Budai, an incarnation of Maitreya Bodhisattva) scatters horizontally and scatters vertically. The practitioner in the stone chamber treads the pestle; why does he forget to put his foot down?』 Entering the hall, he said, citing the example of a monk asking Dasui (Dasui, a Chan master), 『When the fire of the kalpa (kalpa, an aeon in Buddhist cosmology) blazes and the great thousand worlds are destroyed, I wonder if this (referring to the original nature) is destroyed or not?』 Dasui said, 『Destroyed.』 The monk said, 『In that case, let it go.』 Dasui said, 『Let it go.』 He also asked Longji (Longji, a Chan master), 『When the fire of the kalpa blazes and the great thousand worlds are destroyed, I wonder if this is destroyed or not?』 Longji said:
。不壞。僧云。為什麼不壞。濟云。為同大千。此二老宿。一人道壞。一人道不壞。且道壞底是不壞底是。會么。壞與不壞。俱非內外。不隔纖毫。尋常面對。
上堂。問如何是奪人不奪境。師云。庵中間打坐。白雲起峰頂。如何是奪境不奪人。師云。閃爍紅霞散。天童指路親。如何是人境兩俱奪。師云。剛骨盡隨紅影沒。苕苗總逐白雲消。如何是人境俱不奪。師云。久旱逢初雨。他鄉遇舊知。問如何是賓中賓。師云。誰說有疏親。如何是賓中主。師云。磕額無回互。對面與誰陳。如何是主中賓。師云。瑞雲空里布霹靂震乾坤。如何是主中主。師云。古皇令高舉。巧辨徒申吐。問如何是正中來。曰皎潔乾坤震地雷。如何是正中偏。曰諸子投來見大仙。如何是偏中正。曰萬水千山明似鏡。如何是兼中至。曰施設縱橫無所畏。如何是兼中到。曰黑白未分已前過。師乃云。古人道。主賓元不異。問答理俱全。同安又云。賓主睦時全是妄。君臣合處正中邪。一等是出世尊宿。接物利生。言教有異。為復見處偏枯。為複利生不普。明眼底人通個訊息。
上堂云。有物先天地。無形本寂寥。能為萬象主。不逐四時凋。且道。是什麼物。還識得么。若識得。乾坤大地森羅洞明。若也不識。被物拶著轉身不得。
上
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 不壞。僧人問：『為什麼不壞？』 濟公說：『因為它與大千世界相同。』 這兩位老修行，一個說道『壞』，一個說道『不壞』，那麼，到底說『壞』的是對，還是說『不壞』的是對？ 你們明白嗎？ 『壞』與『不壞』，都不是內外之分，沒有絲毫間隔，尋常就在眼前。
上堂說法。有人問：『什麼是奪人不奪境？』 濟公說：『庵中間打坐，白雲從峰頂升起。』 什麼是奪境不奪人？ 濟公說：『閃爍的紅霞消散，天童指路親切。』 什麼是人境兩俱奪？ 濟公說：『剛強的骨氣都隨著紅霞消逝，苕草幼苗都隨著白雲消散。』 什麼是人境俱不奪？ 濟公說：『久旱之後逢甘雨，他鄉遇故知。』 有人問：『什麼是賓中賓？』 濟公說：『誰說有疏遠親近？』 什麼是賓中主？ 濟公說：『磕頭觸額沒有迴避推諉，對面與誰爭辯？』 什麼是主中賓？ 濟公說：『祥瑞的雲彩佈滿天空，霹靂震動天地。』 什麼是主中主？ 濟公說：『古代帝王的法令高高舉起，巧妙的辯論只是徒勞。』 有人問：『什麼是正中來？』 濟公說：『皎潔的乾坤震動著地雷。』 什麼是正中偏？ 濟公說：『眾弟子投奔而來拜見大仙。』 什麼是偏中正？ 濟公說：『萬水千山明亮如鏡。』 什麼是兼中至？ 濟公說：『施設縱橫無所畏懼。』 什麼是兼中到？ 濟公說：『黑白未分之前就已經過去了。』 濟公於是說：『古人說，主與賓原本沒有差異，問答的道理都完備。』 同安禪師又說：『賓主和睦時全是虛妄，君臣相合之處正是邪惡。』 同樣是出世的尊宿，接引眾生利益眾生，言語教誨有所不同，是因為見解有所偏頗，還是因為利益眾生不夠普遍？ 明眼人通曉其中訊息。
上堂說法，濟公說：『有一樣東西先於天地而存在，無形無相原本寂靜空虛，能夠作為萬物的根本主宰，不隨著四季而衰敗凋零。』 那麼，這到底是什麼東西？ 你們認識它嗎？ 如果認識它，乾坤大地森羅萬象都將洞徹明白；如果還不認識，就會被外物逼迫得無法轉身。
【English Translation】 English version: 'Not decaying.' A monk asked, 'Why not decaying?' Ji (Jigong, a monk's name) said, 'Because it is the same as the great chiliocosm (Daqian shijie, the great chiliocosm).' These two old monks, one said 'decaying,' and the other said 'not decaying.' Then, is the one who said 'decaying' correct, or is the one who said 'not decaying' correct? Do you understand? 'Decaying' and 'not decaying' are neither internal nor external, without the slightest separation, usually right in front of you.
Ascending the hall to preach. Someone asked, 'What is seizing the person but not seizing the environment?' Ji said, 'Sitting in meditation in the hermitage, white clouds rise from the peak.' What is seizing the environment but not seizing the person? Ji said, 'Flickering red clouds scatter, the guide of Tiantong (Tiantong, a place name) is kind.' What is seizing both the person and the environment? Ji said, 'Strong bones all vanish with the red shadows, young shoots all follow the white clouds and disappear.' What is neither seizing the person nor seizing the environment? Ji said, 'After a long drought, meeting rain for the first time, meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land.' Someone asked, 'What is guest within guest?' Ji said, 'Who says there are distant and close relatives?' What is guest within host? Ji said, 'Knocking the forehead without evasion, who are you arguing with face to face?' What is host within guest? Ji said, 'Auspicious clouds fill the sky, thunder shakes the universe.' What is host within host? Ji said, 'The ancient emperor's decree is held high, clever arguments are in vain.' Someone asked, 'What is coming from the center?' Ji said, 'The bright universe shakes with thunder.' What is deviation within the center? Ji said, 'The disciples come to see the great immortal.' What is centering within deviation? Ji said, 'Ten thousand rivers and mountains are as clear as a mirror.' What is reaching within the combination? Ji said, 'Establishing freely without fear.' What is arriving within the combination? Ji said, 'Before black and white are distinguished, it has already passed.' Ji then said, 'The ancients said, host and guest are originally not different, the principles of questions and answers are all complete.' Tong'an (Tong'an, a monk's name) also said, 'When host and guest are harmonious, it is all false, where ruler and minister agree, it is precisely evil.' They are equally transcendent venerable monks, receiving beings and benefiting beings, their words and teachings are different, is it because their views are biased, or is it because benefiting beings is not universal? Clear-eyed people understand the message within.
Ascending the hall to preach, Ji said, 'There is something that exists before heaven and earth, without form and originally silent and empty, able to be the master of all things, not decaying with the four seasons.' Then, what is this thing? Do you recognize it? If you recognize it, the universe and all its phenomena will be thoroughly understood; if you do not recognize it, you will be forced by external things and unable to turn around.
堂云。古人道。認著依前還不是實難會。土宿頷下髭鬚多。波斯眼深鼻孔大。甚奇怪。欻然透過新羅界。

【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 師父上堂說法，說道：『古人說，認識到了，依舊還是難以真正領會。』土宿（星名，指人的面相）的下巴鬍鬚很多，波斯人的眼睛深邃，鼻孔很大。真是奇怪啊！竟然一下子就超越了新羅（古代朝鮮國名）的邊界。
師父上堂說法，說道：『自古至今，日月山河依舊。如果能夠明白這個道理，十方諸佛都從同一涅槃之門進入。如果不能明白，誹謗此經，就會獲得相應的罪過。』
師父上堂說法，說道：『在刀刃上跳躍，在微塵里奔跑。辛辛苦苦地來來回回，哪個才是真正的知音呢？』
師父上堂說法，說道：『昨天有三位新來的僧人，出來拜見。』僧人出來行禮拜見。師父說：『不落入平常的占卜算卦，直接說出你們的來意。』僧人說：『和尚您就別說了。』師父說：『這仍然是落入了平常。』僧人說：『恰好是歸於大眾。』師父說：『龍蛇容易辨認，出家修行的人難以欺瞞。』說完便下座。

師父問僧人：『先行不到，末後太過。』僧人想要提起坐具。師父指著說：『離開坐具，怎麼說？』僧人說：『和尚您從哪裡得到這個訊息的？』師父就打了他。僧人又想提起坐具，師父又打他說：『瞎漢！』僧人猶豫不決。師父又打他說：『先坐下喝茶。』僧人就坐下了。師父問：『從什麼地方來？』僧人說：『石霜（地名）。』師父說：『怪不得。』師父問僧人：『有一件事想請教上座，只是不能打老僧。』僧人說：『有什麼緣由？』師父提起坐具說：『拿這個怎麼辦？』僧人說：『不要亂來。』師父就打了他。僧人說：『不要亂來，不要亂來。』師父又打他說：『先坐下喝茶。』僧人說：『剛才說有什麼緣由，和尚為什麼卻打我？』師父說：『你剛才從什麼地方來？』僧人無話可說。師父就捶了一下胸。師父問僧人：『昨天在莊上已經相見過了，今天的人事又怎麼樣？』僧人說：『閉上你的狗嘴。』師父說：『也是。』僧人就打了他。師父說：『老僧哪裡有過錯？』僧人說：『再犯就不容了。』師父卻說：『還以為是個漢子。』
【English Translation】 English version: The master ascended the hall and said, 'The ancients said, 'Even if you recognize it, it's still difficult to truly understand.' The Tusu (a star, referring to one's appearance) has many whiskers under his chin, the Persian's eyes are deep, and his nostrils are large. How strange! Suddenly, he transcends the borders of Silla (ancient Korean kingdom).'
The master ascended the hall and said, 'From ancient times to the present, the sun, moon, mountains, and rivers remain the same. If you can understand this, all the Buddhas of the ten directions enter through the same gate of Nirvana. If you don't understand, slandering this sutra will result in such and such consequences.'
The master ascended the hall and said, 'Leaping on the edge of a blade, running in a speck of dust. Laboriously going back and forth, who is the true confidant?'
The master ascended the hall and said, 'Yesterday, three new monks arrived and came out to pay respects.' The monks came out to bow. The master said, 'Not falling into ordinary divination, directly state your intentions.' The monk said, 'Venerable, please stop.' The master said, 'This is still falling into the ordinary.' The monk said, 'It is precisely returning to the assembly.' The master said, 'Dragons and snakes are easy to distinguish, but it's difficult to deceive a monastic.' Then he descended from the seat.
Examination and Debate
The master asked the monk, 'Going too far ahead is not reaching, going too far behind is excessive.' The monk intended to pick up his sitting mat. The master pointed and said, 'Apart from the sitting mat, how do you say it?' The monk said, 'Where did you get this news from, Venerable?' The master then struck him. The monk intended to pick up his sitting mat again, and the master struck him again, saying, 'Blind man!' The monk hesitated. The master struck him again and said, 'Sit down and have some tea.' The monk then sat down. The master asked, 'Where did you come from?' The monk said, 'Shishuang (place name).' The master said, 'No wonder.' The master asked the monk, 'I have something to ask you, venerable, but I can't hit the old monk.' The monk said, 'What's the reason?' The master picked up the sitting mat and said, 'What about this?' The monk said, 'Don't mess around.' The master then struck him. The monk said, 'Don't mess around, don't mess around.' The master struck him again and said, 'Sit down and have some tea.' The monk said, 'Just now you asked what the reason was, why did you hit me?' The master said, 'Where did you come from just now?' The monk was speechless. The master then thumped his chest. The master asked the monk, 'Yesterday we already met at the village, what about today's affairs?' The monk said, 'Shut your dog mouth.' The master said, 'Indeed.' The monk then struck him. The master said, 'Where did the old monk go wrong?' The monk said, 'No further offenses will be tolerated.' The master then said, 'I thought you were a real man.'

水牯溈山峭峻機。分明人類顯幽
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 於是（臨濟義玄）就說：『去參堂。』有幾位新來的僧人行禮拜見。（臨濟義玄）說：『你們都是浙江一帶的僧人。』僧人說：『猢猻向火堆跳躍做什麼？』（意指為何要多此一舉。）（臨濟義玄）說：『伏惟尚饗（fú wéi shàng xiǎng）。』（本意是祭祀時請神享用祭品，這裡是反語，表示不認可。）僧人無話可說。（臨濟義玄）就打了他。 （臨濟義玄）在慈明（石霜楚圓）禪師的禪會上，有一天提著一籃螺螄繞著寺院叫賣：『賣螺螄。』讓眾僧人給出合適的回答，但都不合他的意。（臨濟義玄）有一位老修行揭開簾子看見他，用眼神示意（臨濟義玄），然後就躺下了。（臨濟義玄）放下籃子就走了。 （臨濟義玄）問僧人：『從哪裡來？』僧人說：『從禪堂里來。』（臨濟義玄）說：『聖僧說了什麼？』僧人走近前沒有聽清楚。（臨濟義玄）說：『東家作驢，西家作馬。』（比喻沒有自己的主見。）僧人說：『過錯在哪裡？』（臨濟義玄）說：『萬里崖州（yá zhōu）。』（指錯得離譜，被貶到遙遠的地方。） （臨濟義玄）問僧人：『從哪裡來？』僧人說：『從殿寮里來。』（臨濟義玄）說：『釋迦老子（shì jiā lǎo zi）是什麼面孔？』僧人便喝了一聲。（臨濟義玄）說：『作什麼？』僧人又喝了一聲。（臨濟義玄）說：『恰是。』（正好是這樣。）僧人說：『任憑踣跳（bó tiào）。』（意為任憑摺騰。）（臨濟義玄）便打了他。 有一天，新來的僧人行人事禮，說道：『請和尚（hé shàng）看看。』（臨濟義玄）說：『不容易說得出來。先坐下喝茶。』泐潭（lè tán）專使行禮拜見，說道：『德華（dé huá）禮拜。』（臨濟義玄）說：『是個浙江一帶的僧人。』僧人說：『不必這樣說。』（臨濟義玄）說：『還是舊時的氣息。』僧人說：『喏（nuò）。』（表示應答。）（臨濟義玄）說：『喏，就暫且告別，做什麼呢？』僧人沉默良久，說道：『任憑踣跳。』（臨濟義玄）拍了一下手。 （臨濟義玄）有一天身體不適，僧人問候時說道：『和尚近日身體如何？』（臨濟義玄）說：『粥飯頭（zhōu fàn tóu）不了事。』（指負責煮粥做飯的人沒有做好本職工作，這裡是自謙之詞。）僧人無話可說。（臨濟義玄）彈了一下手指。 王提刑（wáng tí xíng）問璉三生（liǎn sān shēng）說：『我四十年為官，怎麼才能脫離這塵世？』璉三生無言以對。（臨濟義玄）代為回答說：『任憑踣跳。』又看向上峰的路。璉三生說：『這就是上峰的路。』提刑說：『寺廟在上頭嗎？』璉三生說是。提刑說：『這樣我就不去了。』璉三生無言以對。（臨濟義玄）代為回答說：『今日勘破（kān pò）。』（今天被看穿了。） 偈頌 溈山（wéi shān）水牯牛（shuǐ gǔ niú） 水牯（shuǐ gǔ）溈山（wéi shān）峭峻機，分明人類顯幽微。
【English Translation】 English version: Then (Linji Yixuan) said, 'Go to the meditation hall.' Several newly arrived monks bowed in greeting. (Linji Yixuan) said, 'You are all monks from the Zhejiang area.' The monk said, 'What is the monkey doing jumping into the fire?' (implying why bother with unnecessary actions). (Linji Yixuan) said, 'Fú wéi shàng xiǎng.' (伏惟尚饗) (Originally meant to invite the gods to enjoy the offerings during sacrifices, here it is used ironically to express disapproval.) The monk was speechless. (Linji Yixuan) then hit him. (Linji Yixuan), at the assembly of Zen Master Ciming (Shishuang Chuyuan), one day carried a basket of snails around the monastery, shouting, 'Selling snails.' He asked the monks to give appropriate answers, but none satisfied him. An old practitioner saw him through the curtain, gestured with his eyes, and then lay down. (Linji Yixuan) put down the basket and left. (Linji Yixuan) asked a monk, 'Where do you come from?' The monk said, 'From the meditation hall.' (Linji Yixuan) said, 'What did the Holy Monk say?' The monk came closer but didn't hear clearly. (Linji Yixuan) said, 'The eastern family makes a donkey, the western family makes a horse.' (Metaphor for not having one's own opinion.) The monk said, 'Where is the fault?' (Linji Yixuan) said, 'Ten thousand miles to Yazhou (崖州).' (Referring to being completely wrong, being exiled to a remote place.) (Linji Yixuan) asked a monk, 'Where do you come from?' The monk said, 'From the hall dormitory.' (Linji Yixuan) said, 'What is the face of Shakyamuni Buddha (釋迦老子)?' The monk shouted. (Linji Yixuan) said, 'What are you doing?' The monk shouted again. (Linji Yixuan) said, 'Exactly.' The monk said, 'Let it tumble.' (Meaning let it be.) (Linji Yixuan) then hit him. One day, a newly arrived monk performed the greeting ceremony and said, 'Please, Abbot (和尚), take a look.' (Linji Yixuan) said, 'It's not easy to say. Sit down and have some tea first.' The special envoy of Letan (泐潭) bowed and said, 'Dehua (德華) bows.' (Linji Yixuan) said, 'He is a monk from the Zhejiang area.' The monk said, 'There's no need to say that.' (Linji Yixuan) said, 'It's still the old atmosphere.' The monk said, 'Nuò (喏).' (Answering affirmatively.) (Linji Yixuan) said, 'Nuò, then let's say goodbye for now, what for?' The monk was silent for a long time and said, 'Let it tumble.' (Linji Yixuan) clapped his hands once. (Linji Yixuan) was unwell one day, and a monk asked, 'How is the Abbot's health recently?' (Linji Yixuan) said, 'The cook (粥飯頭) is not doing his job properly.' (Referring to the person in charge of cooking not doing their job well, here it is a self-deprecating remark.) The monk was speechless. (Linji Yixuan) snapped his fingers once. Wang Tixing (王提刑) asked Lian Sansheng (璉三生), 'I have been an official for forty years, how can I escape this world?' Lian Sansheng was speechless. (Linji Yixuan) answered on his behalf, 'Let it tumble.' He also looked at the road to the upper peak. Lian Sansheng said, 'This is the road to the upper peak.' Tixing said, 'Is the temple at the top?' Lian Sansheng said yes. Tixing said, 'Then I won't go.' Lian Sansheng was speechless. (Linji Yixuan) answered on his behalf, 'Exposed today (今日勘破).' (Exposed today.) Verses Water Buffalo of Mount Wei (溈山) The Water Buffalo (水牯) of Mount Wei (溈山) has a steep and sharp mechanism, clearly revealing the subtle mysteries of humanity.

北斗藏身 雲門（Yunmen，禪宗大師）通透了法身（Dharmakaya，佛的法性之身）。從此尋找疏遠的親人。都說和風溫暖，但三春（指春季的三個月）的寒冷卻在更新。
百丈野狐 語言的道路分明就在那裡，請各位仔細觀看。伴隨著雨的西風猛烈，靠近火反而更加寒冷。
庭前柏 趙州（Zhaozhou，禪宗大師）庭前的柏樹，眼中閃過電光。雲遊僧人往來很多，但村裡的老翁行動遲緩。
靈云桃花 靈云（Lingyun，人名）因桃花而見到了親切的真理。他的英俊超越了古今的哲人。星辰簇擁著孤輪，明亮而皎潔。 鋒利的刀刃精光四射，用之不竭。玄沙（Xuansha，禪宗大師）敢保證你還沒有徹悟。 雲遊僧人不要談論什麼生滅。新羅（Xinluo，古國名）的鐵匠打鐵燒紅了腳。磨礪刀刃還需要三尺雪。
麻三斤 同袍參學的僧人詢問通往真理的途徑，前來請教宗師真正的佛法因緣。宗師說三斤麻最好。 天下都在說這三斤麻是最新鮮的。多少工匠頻繁地拿捏。 無奈僧侶們有疏遠和親近之分。我現在要重新稱量一下。哪吒（Nezha，佛教護法神）太子要分解全身。
興化問云居何必話 何必，不必。一七，二七。龍樹（Nagarjuna，佛教哲學家），馬鳴（Asvaghosa，佛教哲學家）。焰光透出。

僧請益三妙三訣師以頌示之 第一妙。古老的門風非常奇妙重要。即使放出去，收回來也不會受到損傷。 這種放出去的能力可以繼承。
第二妙。浩瀚的道路中有多少奧妙。仔細推敲，對著月光。 如果還不明白，就必須明白衲僧（指僧人）的竅門。
第三妙。高高的山頂上猿猴時常啼叫。孤輪穿透碧綠的深潭中心。 多麼自由自在。

潭州云蓋山會和尚語錄序
李唐朝代有禪宗的傑出人物。馬大師（馬祖道一）佔據江西泐潭。門下弟子有八十四人。其中卓然特立的，只有百丈海（百丈懷海）。得到他的大機用。百丈海傳出黃檗運（黃檗希運），得到他的大作用。其餘的只是唱導而已。黃檗希運傳出颙（義颙）。義颙傳出沼（鑒沼）。鑒沼傳出念（處念）。處念傳出昭（慧昭）。慧昭傳出圓（法圓）。法圓傳出會（楊岐方會）。楊岐方會最初住在袁州楊岐山，後來住在長沙云蓋山。當時人們說百丈海得到他的大機用，黃檗希運得到他的大作用，兼而得之的只有會和尚嗎？會和尚兩次主持法席，總共超過十二年。整頓綱紀，隨機應變地接引誘導。有很多言語語句，不允許抄錄。衡陽守端上人，默默地記住了這些，編成一卷。我仰慕惠師（楊岐方會）的名聲很久了。因此向守端求取他所編的卷軸，焚香開啟閱讀。偉大啊，會和尚的機智辯才！好像巨靈神劈開太華山和首陽山，河流迅猛湍急沒有凝滯。如果不是上上大乘的根器，怎麼能夠契合呢？守端命我作序，是爲了會和尚的道流傳天下，並且會和尚的名聲和道行，有見識的人都聽說了，所以不能推辭。只是如實地敘述這件事的緣由。會和尚是袁州宜春人，姓冷。在潭州瀏陽道吾山出家。世俗年齡五十四歲，在云蓋山去世。塔還存在。皇祐二年仲春既望日，湘中的比丘文政敘述。

First Secret: Fully display the style of the school. Clearly distinguish the myriad phenomena. It is futile to further stand in the snow.
Second Secret: Speak of the past and the present. The swift flames must be distinguished. To comment and measure is to cut off the tongue.
Third Secret: Skill and clumsiness determine life and death. Everywhere is sharp-edged. Do not discuss birth and death.
Preface to the Recorded Sayings of Monk Hui of Yun Gai Mountain in Tanzhou
In the Li Tang Dynasty, there was an outstanding figure in Zen. Great Master Ma (Mazu Daoyi) occupied Leitan in Jiangxi. He had eighty-four disciples. Among them, the most prominent was Baizhang Hai (Baizhang Huaihai), who obtained his great function. Baizhang Hai produced Huangbo Yun (Huangbo Xiyun), who obtained his great application. The rest were merely leading and guiding. Huangbo Yun produced Yong (Yi Yong). Yi Yong produced Zhao (Jian Zhao). Jian Zhao produced Nian (Chu Nian). Chu Nian produced Zhao (Hui Zhao). Hui Zhao produced Yuan (Fa Yuan). Fa Yuan produced Hui (Yangqi Fanghui). Yangqi Fanghui first resided at Yangqi Mountain in Yuanzhou, and later at Yun Gai Mountain in Changsha. At that time, people said that Baizhang Hai obtained his great function, Huangbo Yun obtained his great application, and the only one who obtained both was Monk Hui? Monk Hui presided over the Dharma seat twice, for a total of more than twelve years. He rectified the principles and adapted to circumstances to receive and guide. He had many words and phrases, which were not allowed to be copied. Superior Man Shou Duan of Hengyang silently remembered them and compiled them into a scroll. I have long admired the name of Teacher Hui (Yangqi Fanghui). Therefore, I asked Shou Duan for the scroll he compiled, burned incense, and opened it to read. Great indeed is Teacher Hui's wit and eloquence! It is as if the giant spirit split open Mount Taihua and Mount Shouyang, and the river flowed swiftly without stagnation. If it were not for the root of the supreme Mahayana, how could one be in accord with it? Shou Duan ordered me to write a preface so that Teacher Hui's path would spread throughout the world, and Teacher Hui's name and practice are known to all who have knowledge, so I cannot decline. I will simply narrate the cause of this matter truthfully. Teacher Hui was a native of Yichun in Yuanzhou, with the surname Leng. He left home at Daowu Mountain in Liuyang, Tanzhou. His secular age was fifty-four, and he passed away at Yun Gai Mountain. The pagoda still exists. Narrated by the Bhiksu Wenzheng of Xiangzhong on the 既望 day of the second month of spring in the second year of Huangyou.
Inscription on the Recorded Sayings of Old Man Yangqi
Old Man Yangqi (Yangqi Fanghui) rides a three-legged donkey, enters a herd of water buffalo, pulls the plow handle to cultivate the fields, and plants to eat. He plays the jade flute horizontally, and swallows chestnuts and cattails to his fill. For forty years, the Sangha has considered this to be peculiar. Have you not heard
