### 拈古

舉：「青原思禪師問六祖大師：『當何所務即不落階級？』祖曰：『汝曾作甚麼來？』曰：『聖諦亦不為。』祖曰：『聖諦不為，落何階級？』原曰：『聖諦尚不為，何階級之有？』祖曰：『如是如是，善自護持。』蕩空凡聖，還他青原。揀別龍象，須是曹溪。然雖如是，龍歸大海波濤靜，雲到蒼梧氣象閑。」

舉：「僧問趙州：『萬法歸一，一歸何處？』州曰：『我在青州做一領布衫，重七觔。』觔兩分明，不無趙州。若問山僧：『萬法歸一，一歸何處？』只向他道：『山前石頭，大的大，小的小。』」

舉：「臺山婆子因僧問：『臺山路向甚麼處去？』婆云：『驀直去。』僧纔行，婆云：『好個師僧，又與麼去。』後有舉似趙州，州曰：『待我去勘過者婆子。』明日便去，亦如是問，婆亦如是對。州歸，謂眾云：『臺山婆子！我為汝勘破了也。』趙州婆子，一對無孔鐵鎚，且道勘破那個？」

> \*\*Case:\*\* A monk asked the old woman of Mount Tai: “Which way leads to Mount Tai?” She said: “Go straight ahead.” As soon as the monk started walking, she added: “What a fine monk, and off he goes just like that.” Later, someone told this to Master Zhaozhou. Zhaozhou said: “I’ll go see for myself whether that old woman is worth her salt.” The next day, Zhaozhou went and asked the same question, and the old woman gave the same reply. Zhaozhou returned and told the assembly: “The old woman of Mount Tai—I’ve seen through her for you all.” Now, this old woman and Zhaozhou—they’re like a pair of iron hammers without a hole. So tell me: which one did Zhaozhou see through?

舉：「溈山示眾云：『老僧遷化後，往山前檀那家作頭水牯牛，左肋書五字云「溈山僧某甲」。正恁麼時，道是溈山僧，卻是水牯牛；道是水牯牛，卻是溈山僧。』」師云：「道是溈山僧，卻是水牯牛，恰；道是水牯牛，卻是溈山僧，恰。當時若下得這兩個恰字，教他脫溈山僧也不得，脫水牯牛也不得。且道利害在甚麼處？」

> Here is the translation: --- He cited: "Guishan addressed the assembly, saying: 'After I pass away, I will be reborn as a water buffalo in the home of a lay supporter at the foot of the mountain. On its left side will be written five characters: "Guishan monk, so-and-so." At that very moment, if you say it's the Guishan monk, it's actually the water buffalo; if you say it's the water buffalo, it's actually the Guishan monk.'" The master said: "Saying it's the Guishan monk, yet it's the water buffalo—exactly right. Saying it's the water buffalo, yet it's the Guishan monk—exactly right. If someone at that time could have uttered these two 'exactly rights,' they would have made it impossible for him to escape being the Guishan monk, and also impossible to escape being the water buffalo. Tell me, where exactly does the crucial point lie?"

舉：「德山一日托缽至法堂，雪峰遂問：『老漢！鐘未鳴、鼓未響，托缽向甚處去？』山低頭便歸方丈。峰舉似巖頭，頭曰：『大小德山未會末後句在。』山令侍者喚來問：『汝不肯老僧那？』頭密啟其意，山乃休去。明日陞堂，果與尋常不同。頭至僧堂前，撫掌大笑曰：『且喜老漢會末後句。雖然，也只得三年活。』者公案卻是好笑，且道笑個甚麼？笑他父子潑油救火、平地興波，明眼人前轉見敗缺。」

舉：「芙蓉楷侍投子游園次，子度拄杖與楷，楷接便隨行。子曰：『理合與麼。』楷曰：『與和尚提鞋挈杖，不為分外。』子曰：『有同行在。』楷曰：『那一人不受教。』子休去。至晚問楷：『早來說話未盡在。』楷云：『請和尚舉。』子曰：『卯生日，戌生月。』楷即點燈來。子曰：『汝上來下去，總不徒然。』楷曰：『在和尚左右，理合如此。』子曰：『奴兒婢子，誰家屋裡無？』楷曰：『和尚年尊，缺他不得。』子曰：『得與麼殷勤？』楷曰：『報恩有分。』動絃別調，玉轉珠回，線去鍼來，明投暗合。投子芙蓉之謂歟？」
