### 第十九則漸源捲簾

> Case 19: Jianyuan Rolls Up the Blinds

舉漸源因寶葢來相看。仁義道中源乃捲簾入方丈坐。賊來須打。客來須待葢下却簾。更好灰圍三道歸客位。各把疆界源令侍者傳語云。遠涉不易。猶隔津在。相見了也纔語了。葢便打一掌。莫是猶隔津在者云。有堂頭和尚在。莫打某甲。帶累堂頭何啻隔津葢云。祇為有和尚在。所以打你。兩回放過好還兩掌者回舉似源。直打出三門外始得源云。猶隔津在。相見了也天童拈云。酌然猶隔津在。相見了也然則各各彼彼。自是一家。分貝曰貧且作麼生。得同生同死。共命連枝去。同田曰富暗裏抽橫骨。相見了也明中坐舌頭猶隔津在。

> The master said: When Zen Master Jian Yuan of Tanzhou was young, he served as the head cook and later as an attendant for Daowu. One day, they went to a layman's home to offer condolences at a funeral. Jian Yuan tapped the coffin and asked Daowu, "Is he alive or dead?" Daowu said, "I won't say living, I won't say dead." Jian Yuan asked, "Why won't you say?" Daowu replied, "Not say, not say." On the way back, Jian Yuan said, "Master, tell me quickly. If you don't, I'll hit you." Daowu said, "You can hit me if you want, but I won't say." Jian Yuan then struck Daowu several times. When they returned to the monastery, Daowu told Jian Yuan, "You should leave. I'm worried the supervisor of affairs might find out and cause trouble." So Jian Yuan left and stayed at a village temple for three years. One day, Jian Yuan heard a young novice reciting the Lotus Sutra: "To those who can be saved in the form of a monk, he appears as a monk." Suddenly, he felt a moment of joy. He wanted to return to Daowu, but heard that Daowu had already passed away. He then went to see Shishuang, raised the earlier conversation, and asked for insight into its meaning. Shishuang said, "I won't say living, I won't say dead." Jian Yuan said, "Why won't you say?" Shishuang replied, "Not say, not say." At these words, Jian Yuan had an awakening. He bowed to Shishuang in repentance, and Shishuang confirmed his realization. They both became heirs of Daowu. Master Bao Gai of Tanzhou, a nephew of Jian Yuan, was a successor of Shishuang. One day, he went to pay respects to his uncle Jian Yuan. When Jian Yuan saw him coming, he rolled up the curtain and sat waiting for him. Verses from Old Pang say: "If someone dislikes Old Pang, Old Pang does not dislike them. He opens the door to welcome friends, but the friends don't come in." Bao Gai lowered the curtain and said, "Why not say the grass-thief has been thoroughly defeated?" Then he went to the guest quarters. If Wansong had been Jian Yuan, he would have gone to the guest quarters, pulled down the curtain, and returned to the abbot's room. Don't you see how Wansui and Baoshou were fellow students? One day, Wansui went to see Baoshou, who remained seated and didn't rise. Wansui spread his sitting mat. Baoshou got off his meditation bench, and Wansui sat on it. Baoshou went to the abbot's room and closed the door. Wansui remained seated. The officer said, "The abbot has closed his door. Please have tea in the kitchen." Wansui then returned to his own monastery. The next day, Baoshou came to visit. Wansui remained seated and didn't rise. Baoshou spread his mat, and Wansui got off the bench. Baoshou then sat on it. Wansui went to the abbot's room and closed the door. Baoshou took ash from the attendant's quarters and drew three lines around the abbot's door, then left. When Wansui opened the door and saw this, he said, "I didn't act like that, but he did." Now, would you say they truly met, or is there still a river between them? Jian Yuan sent an attendant to deliver a message: "The journey was not easy, but we are still separated by a river." Inexperienced young monks tend to fixate on words and categorize phrases. When they hear Jian Yuan say "still separated by a river," they think that since he didn't spread a sitting mat or exchange courtesies, there must be separation. But Wansong says, "They truly met." What do you think? Is this the moment of the Wangzhou Pavilion, Wushi Ridge, or before the monks' hall? If so, why did Bao Gai personally come, pull down the curtain, and go to the guest quarters? As soon as Bao Gai's attendant delivered the message, Bao Gai slapped him. Wansong said, "Give our respects to the master and thank him for the teaching." The attendant said, "The abbot is here, don't hit me. I won't do it again." A pity he let him off. Bao Gai said, "It's precisely because the abbot is here that I hit you." When dragons fight, fish are wounded—it's not unusual. When the attendant reported this to Jian Yuan, who was still talking about military strategy, Jian Yuan said, "Still separated by a river." How tightly he held his words! Even the great Tiantong could only go with the current and say, "Indeed, still separated by a river." Wansong gave different responses in four places, saying, "They truly met." This contradicts the appearances shown by Jian Yuan and Tiantong. Yet Tiantong says, "Each one is themselves, each is their own family." Seeing it from all angles, they live and die together with the three great masters, sharing one fate. Can you see where Tiantong, in darkness, removes the horizontal bone, and in brightness, sits on the tongue? The attendant was slapped so hard it hurt to the bone. The master opened his eyes wide and said, "Don't say 'still separated by a river.'"
