English version The Zen master. Please take back the reply. The master said, 'Tell Lian Shi (a person's name), to come and collect the reply himself.' After a short while, the messenger came back to the master, bowed and left. The next day, the master entered the mansion. Lian Shi said, 'Thank you, Master, for the reply yesterday.' The master said, 'Please show me yesterday's reply.' Lian Shi spread out both hands. The governor asked the master, 'Is Lian Shi's letter pleasing to the master?' The master said, 'It's still a bit short.' (Fayan (name of the master) commented separately, 'This turning phrase, the great king should say it himself.') The governor said, 'I don't know what the master's intention is.' The master remained silent for a long time. The governor said, 'Inconceivable, the master's Buddha Dharma (teachings of Buddha) is profound.' (Hanshan (name of the master) commented, 'The three wheels (donor, recipient and donation) are empty in essence, there is no giver, no receiver, no rewarder, and no non-giver, no non-receiver, no non-rewarder. If you block this bearded man, only then will the lady slap the master, and he will immediately be helpless and silent. Even the old monk who broke the futon (cushion for meditation) couldn't help but praise. Indeed, a family with a virtuous wife will not encounter misfortune, isn't that wonderful. But alas, too much flesh and too little wisdom, the male submits and the female flies, the eyes stare blankly at each other. Not only is the lady dulled, but also the messenger is humiliated. Therefore, it is said, acquaintances fill the world, but how many are true friends.' Singing, 'Suddenly opening both hands on the hard ground, hanging in the air without a thread. The Buddha Dharma is taken shallow and near, and the villagers regard it as rare.') Chen Daopo (a person's name) Chen Daopo of Wenzhou, once visited famous monks everywhere. Later, she had an enlightenment under the words of Abbot Jing of Elder Mountain. She wrote a verse saying, 'On the high slope and flat top, are all the woodcutters. Everyone harbors the intention of knives and axes, but does not see the mountain flowers reflecting the red water.' (Hanshan commented, 'The Dharma is equal, there is no high or low. Let's put Chen Daopo's words aside for now, you have a rootless tree, blooming on the carrying pole day and night, what's the hurry? Go directly to pick leaves and find branches, exhausting your mind and strength. Blind man, put it down, keep the green hills, don't be afraid of no firewood.' Singing, 'The wine flag is faintly visible in the green shade, the sound of axes chopping wood can be heard even in dreams. If you talk about the true woodcutter') -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 乐处。一湾茅屋绕溪东)。 俞道婆(琅玡起禅师法嗣)

俞道婆。金陵人也。市油糍为业。常随众参问琅玡起禅师。师以临济无位真人话示之。一日闻丐者唱莲华乐云。不因柳毅传书信。何缘得到洞庭湖。忽大悟。以糍盘投地。夫傍睨曰。你颠邪。婆掌曰。非汝境界。往见琅玡。琅玡望之。知其造诣。问那个是无位真人。婆应声曰。有一无位人。六臂三头努力瞋。一擘华山分两路。万年流水不知春。由是声名蔼着。圆悟蒋山开堂。方至法座前。婆于众中跃出。以身一拶。便归众。悟曰。见怪不怪。其怪自坏。悟次日至其家。婆不出。厉声曰。这般黄口小儿。也道出来开堂说法。悟曰。婆子少卖弄。我识得你了也。婆遂大笑出相见。凡有僧至。则曰儿儿。僧拟议。即掩门。佛灯珣禅师住勘之。婆见如前所问。珣曰。爷在甚么处。婆转身拜露柱。珣即踏倒曰。将谓有多少奇特。便出。婆蹶起曰。儿儿来。惜你则个。珣竟不顾。安首座至。婆问。甚处来。安曰德山。婆曰。德山泰乃老婆儿子。安曰。婆是甚人儿子。婆曰。被上座一问。直得立地放尿。婆尝颂马祖不安因缘曰。日面月面。虚空闪电。虽然截断天下衲僧舌头。分明祇道得一半 (憨山评云。阿耶谁知这赤条条肉团公。却在十字街头乞儿口里聻。然 现代汉语译本 乐处。（一湾茅屋绕溪东） 俞道婆（琅玡起禅师法嗣） 俞道婆，金陵人。以卖油糍为生。常跟随众人参问琅玡起禅师（禅宗大师）。禅师用临济宗的‘无位真人’的话开示他。一日，听到乞丐唱莲花乐说：‘不因柳毅传书信，何缘得到洞庭湖。’忽然大悟，将糍盘摔在地上。丈夫在旁边斜眼看她说：‘你疯了吗？’俞道婆打了他一巴掌说：‘非你所能理解的境界。’前往拜见琅玡起禅师。琅玡起禅师看着她，知道她已有所领悟，问：‘哪个是无位真人？’俞道婆应声说：‘有一无位人，六臂三头努力瞋，一擘华山分两路，万年流水不知春。’因此声名远播。圆悟克勤禅师在蒋山开堂，刚走到法座前，俞道婆从人群中跳出来，用身体一撞，便回到人群中。圆悟克勤禅师说：‘见怪不怪，其怪自坏。’圆悟克勤禅师第二天到她家，俞道婆不出来，厉声说：‘这般黄口小儿，也敢出来开堂说法！’圆悟克勤禅师说：‘婆子少卖弄，我识得你了也。’俞道婆于是大笑出来相见。凡是有僧人到，就叫‘儿儿’。僧人稍作思量，她就关门。佛灯珣禅师住持时去勘验她。俞道婆见到他，像之前一样发问。佛灯珣禅师说：‘爷在什么地方？’俞道婆转身拜露柱。佛灯珣禅师随即踢倒露柱说：‘还以为有多少奇特之处。’便离开了。俞道婆跳起来说：‘儿儿来，我爱惜你。’佛灯珣禅师竟不理睬。安首座到，俞道婆问：‘从哪里来？’安首座说：‘德山。’俞道婆说：‘德山泰乃老婆儿子。’安首座说：‘婆是谁的儿子？’俞道婆说：‘被上座一问，直得立地**。’俞道婆曾作颂马祖道一不安的因缘说：‘日面月面，虚空闪电。虽然截断天下衲僧舌头，分明祇道得一半。’（憨山德清评云：阿耶，谁知这赤条条肉团公，却在十字街头乞儿口里呢？然）

English version A pleasant place. (A bay of thatched cottages surrounds the east of the stream). Yu Daopo (Successor of Chan Master Langye Qi) Yu Daopo was a native of Jinling. She made a living selling fried oil cakes. She often followed the crowd to consult Chan Master Langye Qi (a Chan Buddhist master). The master used the words of 'The True Person of No Rank' from the Linji school to instruct her. One day, she heard a beggar singing the Lotus Flower Song, saying, 'If not for Liu Yi delivering the letter, how could one reach Dongting Lake?' Suddenly, she had a great enlightenment and threw the cake tray to the ground. Her husband glanced at her sideways and said, 'Are you crazy?' Yu Daopo slapped him and said, 'This is beyond your understanding.' She went to see Chan Master Langye. Chan Master Langye looked at her and knew that she had attained some understanding, and asked, 'Who is the True Person of No Rank?' Yu Daopo replied, 'There is a True Person of No Rank, with six arms and three heads, fiercely angry, splitting Mount Hua into two paths with one tear, and the flowing water for ten thousand years knows no spring.' Because of this, her reputation spread far and wide. When Chan Master Yuanwu Keqin opened a hall at Jiangshan, just as he reached the Dharma seat, Yu Daopo jumped out from the crowd, bumped him with her body, and returned to the crowd. Chan Master Yuanwu Keqin said, 'Don't be surprised by strangeness, and the strangeness will destroy itself.' The next day, Chan Master Yuanwu Keqin went to her house, but Yu Daopo did not come out, and said sternly, 'This kind of young child dares to come out and open a hall to preach the Dharma!' Chan Master Yuanwu Keqin said, 'Old woman, stop showing off, I know you.' Yu Daopo then laughed loudly and came out to meet him. Whenever a monk arrived, she would call 'Son, son.' If the monk hesitated, she would close the door. When Chan Master Fodeng Xun was in charge, he went to examine her. When Yu Daopo saw him, she asked the same question as before. Chan Master Fodeng Xun said, 'Where is the father?' Yu Daopo turned around and bowed to the pillar. Chan Master Fodeng Xun immediately kicked down the pillar and said, 'I thought there was something special.' Then he left. Yu Daopo jumped up and said, 'Son, son, I cherish you.' Chan Master Fodeng Xun ignored her. When Chief Seat An arrived, Yu Daopo asked, 'Where are you from?' Chief Seat An said, 'Deshan.' Yu Daopo said, 'Deshan is an old woman's son.' Chief Seat An said, 'Whose son is the old woman?' Yu Daopo said, 'Being asked by the venerable, I am immediately **.' Yu Daopo once composed a eulogy on the cause of Master Mazu Daoyi's unease, saying, 'Sun face, moon face, lightning in the void. Although cutting off the tongues of all monks in the world, it is clear that only half is said.' (Hanshan Deqing commented: 'Ah, who knows that this naked mass of flesh is actually in the mouth of a beggar at the crossroads?') --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
