禅宗公案 Zen Koan - 吃茶去 Go drink tea




http://www.fo5.cn/gushi/fo/21/1040.html

当年,赵州和尚在河北赵县的观音院弘法传道,遐迩修行僧云集。
有一天,一位禅僧远道而来向赵州参学,赵州问他:
“你以前来过这里没有?”
“没有来过。”
“是吗,那麽吃茶去!”

转而又来一位禅僧。
“你以前来过这里没有?”
“啊,来过。”
“是吗,那麽吃茶去!”

于是,不解的院主终于启口问道:
“和尚,方才你让初来咋到吃茶去,理所当然,但对常来常住的,也让他吃茶去,这是为甚麽呢?”

赵州闻言立即叫“院主”,院主应声,赵州又说:
“吃茶去!”


赵州未明答院主之问,似以身说法,此法又为何呢?

In the above story, the master Zhao-zhou instructs all to "Go drink tea" !

Whether it is a first-timer that visits, or a repeated one, or the monastery's owner, all were told to "Go drink tea"!

Hahaha! 

Go figure!


Cheers all
