I got this book because it has the Chinese in it.
Baizhang asked Mazu, "What is the essential meaning of Buddhism?"
"To give up your life."
百丈問、如何是仏旨趣。祖云、正是汝放身命怨。

Translation game:
Baizhang: What is Buddha's purpose?
Ma: ?
I didn't understand how to get the MDBG to fit with the translation... What does google say?
It's you who let go of your life and resentment
It kinda looks like Google is a better translater?
What is Buddha's purpose?
It's you who lets go...
.
The "commentator" is so milksoppy that there is no point... but why do you suppose MDBG says there is a Japanese word in amongst the Chinese text?
