English version: Dayu said, 'Speaking these words.' Shenshan asked, 'What are you doing?' Dayu said, 'Generations of officials, temporarily down on their luck.' Shenshan was embroidering with a needle. Dayu asked, 'What are you doing?' Shenshan said, 'Holding a needle.' Dayu asked, 'What are you doing with the needle?' Shenshan said, 'Needle after needle is similar.' Dayu said, 'Traveling together for twenty years, speaking such words, how can there be such effort?' Shenshan said, 'What is the Elder doing?' Dayu said, 'Like the principle of fire erupting from the earth.' Shenshan asked Dayu, 'Wherever knowledge reaches, one cannot but travel and practice. At the most direct point, I beg the teacher for a word.' Dayu said, 'How can the intention of the senior monk achieve results?' Shenshan suddenly awakened because of this, and his words were extraordinary. Later, when crossing a single-plank bridge with Dayu, Dayu crossed first, picked up the wooden bridge, and said, 'Come over.' Shenshan called out, 'Jia Sheli (a respectful term for monks).' Dayu then put down the bridge plank. When Dayu and Shenshan were walking, Dayu pointed to a courtyard by the road and said, 'There are people inside, talking about mind and nature.' Shenshan asked, 'Who is it?' Dayu said, 'Being asked by the senior monk, one goes straight to death ten parts.' Shenshan asked, 'Who are those talking about mind and nature?' Dayu said, 'Living from death.' Dayu asked Xuefeng, 'Where do you come from?' Xuefeng said, 'From Mount Tiantai.' Dayu asked, 'Did you see the Zhi Zhe (the de facto founder of the Tiantai school)?' Xuefeng said, 'Yicun (Weishan Yicun, a Zen master) has a share in eating iron rods.' Xuefeng came forward to pay respects. Dayu said, 'Coming through the door, there must be something to say, one cannot say that one has already entered.' Xuefeng said, 'Moujia (a humble term used by juniors to address seniors) has no mouth.' Dayu said, 'If you have no mouth, then follow, return my eyes.' Xuefeng was speechless (Yunju Ying (a Zen master) said after the previous words, 'I will speak when Moujia has a mouth.' Changqing Leng (a Zen master) said separately, 'Then Moujia respectfully withdraws.'). When Xuefeng was carrying firewood, he threw a bundle in front of Dayu. Dayu said, 'How much does it weigh?' Xuefeng said, 'All the people in the world cannot lift it.' Dayu said, 'How did you get it here?' Xuefeng was speechless. Dayu wrote the word 'Buddha' on a fan. Yunyan saw it and wrote the word 'No'. Dayu then changed it to the word 'Non'. Xuefeng saw it and removed them all at once (Xinghua (a prominent monk of the Linji school)). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version Dongshan (Dongshan): Jiangdai said I am not as good as you. Baiyang Shun said: 'If I were to be Dongshan, I would only say to Xuefeng (Xuefeng): You are not my family.' Tianbo Yuan said: 'Dongshan Yunyan, piling up soil on flat ground. Old man Xuefeng, grows wiser through experience.' Xuefeng was the cook, and while washing rice, Dongshan asked: 'Are you washing away the sand to keep the rice, or washing away the rice to keep the sand?' Xuefeng said: 'The sand and rice are removed together.' Dongshan said: 'What will the assembly eat?' Xuefeng then overturned the rice pot. Dongshan said: 'According to your karma, you are suited for Deshan (Deshan).' (Langye Jue said: 'Xuefeng's actions are like abandoning a sweet peach tree to search the mountains for sour pears.' Tiantong Jue said: 'Xuefeng climbs higher and higher, unknowingly breaking the heel of his straw sandals. If one can be flexible with the relative and the absolute, and practice both chanting and striking, naturally words and spirit will align, and father and son will be in accord.' Furthermore, what is Dongshan's intention in not acknowledging Xuefeng? A cloudless sky has its faults, and the moon is hard to see in a clear pool like a mirror. Xuedou Zong said: 'A straight tree does not attract phoenixes, and golden needles have already embroidered mandarin ducks. If it were not for the newly respectful old man, one would see ice melting and tiles disintegrating.') One day, Dongshan asked Xuefeng: 'What are you doing?' Xuefeng said: 'Making a trough.' Dongshan said: 'How many axe blows did it take?' Xuefeng said: 'One axe blow.' Dongshan said: 'That is still this side of the matter; what about the other side?' Xuefeng said: 'It is impossible to get started.' Dongshan said: 'That is still this side of the matter; what about the other side?' Xuefeng was silent. (Fenyang Zhao said: 'I am already tired.') Xuefeng bid farewell to Dongshan. Dongshan asked: 'Where are you going?' Xuefeng said: 'Returning to the mountains.' Dongshan asked: 'Which road did you take when you came out?' Xuefeng said: 'I came out from Flying Ape Ridge.' Dongshan asked: 'Which road are you taking this time?' Xuefeng said: 'Going from Flying Ape Ridge.' Dongshan said: 'There is a person who does not go from Flying Ape Ridge; do you recognize him?' Xuefeng said: 'I do not recognize him.' Dongshan asked: 'Why don't you recognize him?' Xuefeng said: 'He has no face.' Dongshan said: 'Since you do not recognize him, how do you know he has no face?' Xuefeng had no reply. (Langye Jue said: 'Crude mind.') -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 者失)。

English version: Yunju Daoying came to pay respects. Weishan Lingyou asked: 'Where do you come from?' Yunju said: 'From Cuiwei.' Weishan said: 'What words does Cuiwei use to instruct his disciples?' Yunju said: 'Cuiwei makes offerings to Arhats (Arhat, enlightened Buddhist practitioner). I asked: 'Do the Arhats come when offerings are made?' Cuiwei said: 'What are you staring at every day?'' Weishan said: 'Is this really what he said?' Yunju said: 'Yes.' Weishan said: 'It was worth the visit to see a true master.' Weishan asked Yunju: 'What is your name?' Yunju said: 'Daoying.' Weishan said: 'Say more, go further.' Yunju said: 'Going further, I am not called Daoying.' Weishan said: 'That's the same as Daowu's answer to the master.' Yunju asked: 'What is the meaning of Bodhidharma's (Bodhidharma, the first patriarch of Zen Buddhism in China) coming from the West?' Weishan said: 'You will have a thatched hut to cover your head in the future. If someone asks you, how will you answer?' Yunju said: 'Daoying is at fault (I don't know how to answer).' One day, Weishan said to Yunju: 'I heard that Great Master Si was reborn in Japan (ancient name for Japan) as a king. Is that true?' Yunju said: 'If the grace is great, even a Buddha would not do it.' Weishan approved of his answer. Weishan asked Yunju: 'Where have you been?' Yunju said: 'Treading the mountains.' Weishan asked: 'Which mountain is suitable to live on?' Yunju said: 'No mountain is suitable to live on.' Weishan said: 'In that case, the whole country is occupied by you.' Yunju said: 'Not so.' Weishan said: 'In that case, you have found a way in.' Yunju said: 'There is no way.' Weishan said: 'If there is no way, how could you meet the old monk?' Yunju said: 'If there is a way, then I would be separated from the master by a mountain.' Weishan then said: 'This child, later on, thousands and millions of people will not be able to hold him back.' Once, Weishan and Yunju were crossing a river. Weishan asked: 'How deep is the water?' Yunju said: 'Not wet.' Weishan said: 'Crude person.' Yunju said: 'Please, Master, tell me.' Weishan said: 'Not dry.' (Fifth Patriarch Fayan said: 'Is there any superiority or inferiority in their words? Today, I speak freely because of walking, revealing it to you all. The phrase 'crossing the water, not wet' means the treasury is piled with pearls. The phrase 'crossing the water, not dry' means what can you say without an awl?') --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
