"Surely you have seen: Linji said to his assembly, 'I want to establish the message of the school of Huangbo. Who will become my successor?' At the time Puhua and Kefu came forward to ask about his health, then left. The next day they asked Linji, 'What were you saying yesterday, Master?' Linji immediately struck them, and the two men bowed in homage."
"A-li-li! Linji founding a school this way, the two men becoming successors this way -- how far off it is! I have no Dharma that can be founded, but I want all of you to become successors. But tell me, become successors to what? Where is it warm in November?"
At the end of summer retreat Shiqi said:
"The autumn wind fills our robe: the brethren are departing in various directions. I have a turning word that I will cite to see you off:
Number One: Do not hear it wrong.
Number Two: Do not understand it wrong.
Number Three: When you meet people, do not quote it wrong.
If you make no mistakes in these three, you have still slandered me. Isn't there anyone who can avoid this?"
Then he picked up the staff and brandished it once.
-
Wumen's Walking hand in hand with the Patriarchs
-
Yuanwu's If the action of your eyes is alive, you will experience it like the superb flavor of ghee
-
Now, Shiqi's I have no Dharma that can be founded. I want all of you to becomes successors.
Shiqi brings it straight to our eyeballs and asks: Successors to what? Where is it warm in November?
It's established that Right Action, Right Understanding, and Right Speech won't help you avoid slandering Shiqi. Who can avoid slandering Shiqi?
