English version: Shanyun: Just now when I came, it wasn't crooked. What does the Abbot think? Master Wei said: 'You must go with the flow.' Master Wei ascended the hall and said: 'Midwinter's severe cold is an annual event. As the sun's shadow shifts, what will happen?' Yangshan Huiji (disciple of Weishan Lingyou) stepped forward, put his palms together, and stood. Master Wei said: 'I knew you couldn't answer this question.' Xiangyan Zhixian (disciple of Weishan Lingyou) said: 'I can answer this question.' Master Wei repeated the previous question, and Xiangyan Zhixian also stepped forward, put his palms together, and stood. Master Wei said: 'Fortunately, Huiji doesn't understand.' Master Wei was sitting when Yangshan Huiji passed by the abbot's room. Master Wei said: 'If Master Baizhang Huaihai (teacher of Weishan Lingyou) saw you, he would surely give you a painful beating.' Yangshan Huiji said: 'How should this matter be handled now?' Master Wei said: 'Shut your mouth.' Yangshan Huiji said: 'This kindness is difficult to repay.' Master Wei said: 'It's not that you are incompetent, but that I am old.' Yangshan Huiji said: 'Today I have personally seen Master Baizhang Huaihai come.' Master Wei said: 'Where did you see him?' Yangshan Huiji said: 'It's not about seeing, it's just that there is no difference.' Master Wei said: 'Always an expert.' Master Wei asked Yangshan Huiji: 'Let's put aside the present matter for now. What about the past matter?' Yangshan Huiji put his palms together and approached. Master Wei said: 'This is still the present matter. What about the past matter?' Yangshan Huiji stepped back and stood. Master Wei said: 'You make it difficult for me, and I make it difficult for you.' Yangshan Huiji then bowed. (Chan Master Jiangshan Qin commented: Although Yangshan Huiji is good at advancing and retreating, explaining the past and present, Weishan is like sucking juice from a sesame cake, seeking oil from sand. Even so, what does Yangshan Huiji's putting his palms together mean? If you know, the matter of pilgrimage is settled. If you don't know, this old monk has not failed you, it is only you who have failed this old monk.) Yangshan Huiji and Xiangyan Zhixian were standing by, Master Wei raised his hand and said: 'There are few like this now, and many who are not like this.' Xiangyan Zhixian went from east to west and stood, Yangshan Huiji went from west to east and stood. Master Wei said: 'This karmic condition, thirty years later, will be like gold thrown on the ground.' Yangshan Huiji said: 'It must be promoted by the Abbot.' Xiangyan Zhixian said: 'There are not a few even now.' Master Wei said: 'Shut your mouth.' (Chan Master Nantang Jing commented: The elephant king groans frequently, the lion roars, crouching on the ground and coiling in the sky, shifting stars and changing constellations.) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: Changing the dipper (metaphor for changing perspective). Sitting and breaking the tongue (metaphor for transcending language). Closing the dog's mouth (metaphor for stopping false speech). Once thrown to the ground, it makes a golden sound (metaphor for the sound of sudden enlightenment). The Yellow River, with its nine bends, becomes completely clear (metaphor for complete awakening). Venerable Wei (Zen Master Wei Shan) was sitting on the meditation bed. Yangshan (Yangshan Huiji) entered. Venerable Wei showed him by crossing his hands. Yangshan made a woman's bow. Venerable Wei said, 'Thus, thus (it is so, it is so).' Venerable Wei was sitting in his abbot's room, and Yangshan entered. Venerable Wei said, 'Huiji, how have you been guiding students in the Zen school recently?' Yangshan said, 'Many people are doubting this matter.' Venerable Wei said, 'What does Huiji do?' Yangshan said, 'Huiji just closes his eyes when he is sleepy and meditates when he is energetic, so he has not said anything about it.' Venerable Wei said, 'It is rare to reach this state.' Yangshan said, 'According to Huiji's view, it is just like this, not even a single sentence is needed.' Venerable Wei said, 'You cannot do it for one person.' Yangshan said, 'All the sages of ancient times were like this.' Venerable Wei said, 'Many people laugh at you for answering like that.' Yangshan said, 'Those who can laugh are Huiji's fellow practitioners.' Venerable Wei said, 'How do you handle matters that come to the fore?' Yangshan walked around the meditation bed once. Venerable Wei said, 'Breaking through the past and present.' (Jiangshan Qin said: 'Moving the strings plays a different tune, the falling leaves know autumn, from ancient times to the present, building and bumping, the mysterious path of birds, allowing father and son to travel together. If it is in a thicket of thorns, there is still a lack of enlightenment. What is the proof? Just like Yangshan, walking around the meditation bed once. Venerable Wei said: Breaking through the past and present, if it is a clear-eyed monk, he cannot hide anything from him.') Yangshan and Xiangyan (Xiangyan Zhixian) were standing beside Venerable Wei. Venerable Wei said, 'Past, future, and present, the Buddhas all share the same path, and everyone has a path to liberation.' Yangshan said, 'What is the path to liberation for everyone?' Venerable Wei turned to Xiangyan and said, 'Huiji is asking you, why don't you answer him?' Xiangyan said, 'If you talk about the past, future, and present, I have a place to answer.' Venerable Wei said, 'How do you answer?' Xiangyan paid his respects (showing respect) and left. Venerable Wei then asked Yangshan, 'Does Zhixian's answer agree with your meaning?' Yangshan said, 'It does not agree.' Venerable Wei said, 'What do you do?' Yangshan also paid his respects and left. Venerable Wei laughed heartily and said: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 如水乳合。
