Someone asked, "What is the meaning of Bodhidharma's coming from the West?" Mazu responded, "What does this mean, here and now?"
問、 如何是西来意。 祖日、 即今是甚麼意。
.
How about Mazu responds: "Prompted by this moment, what is the intention?"
All of a sudden Mazu's answer gets pretty cutting if you juggle the translation a little.
What do you mean to bring up now by asking about Bodhidharma back then?
SNAP!
It's on, u bastardos.
