临济义玄俗姓邢, 曹州(今山东荷泽)南华人。
他的师承颇为广泛, 而直接启发他大悟的, 则是黄檗希运禅师。
临济落发受具后, 精究佛教律学, 博通经论, 随后辗转来到江西黄檗山参见希运禅师。

在黄檗会下, 义玄以行业第一著称。
[The story is about how ZM Huang-bo Xi-yun ignited Lin-ji Yi-xuan to enlightenment.]
当时睦州担任首座，看到义玄开悟的机缘已经成熟，就点化他说：
At that time, Mu-zhou is appointed top seat (the person holding the top position in a Zen chapter), seeing that Yi-xuan's enlightenment affinity has matured, pointed out to him, saying:

“你到这里已有多时，为什么不去问话？”
You have been here for some time, why don't go ask?
临济问：“问什么呢？”
Ling-ji asked: Ask about what?
睦州说：“你就问：‘什么是佛法大意？’”
Mu-zhou said: You just ask: What is the big meaning of Buddha Dharma?
临济便去问黄檗，话还没有说完，黄檗抬手就打。
Ling-ji then went to ask Huang-bo, but he hasn't finish speaking, Huang-bo raised his hand and hit out.
义玄回来后，首座问：“你去问话怎么样？”
After Yi-xuan's return, top seat asked: How is your asking?
义玄答道：“我话还没有说完，和尚就打。”
Yi-xuan replied: I haven't finish speaking, the monk hit me.
首座说：“你再去问。”
Top seat said: You go ask again.
义玄又去问，黄檗又打。
Yi-xuan went to ask and Huang-bo hit again.
就这样三度发问，三度被打。
This happened 3 times.
义玄便对首座说：“承首座提醒去问话，我三度去问，三度被打。恐怕我的因缘不在这里，我还是到别处去参访吧。”
Yi-xuan said to top seat: Thanks to top seat reminding me to go ask, I went to ask for 3 times and got hit 3 times. I am afraid that my affinity is not here, I think it is better to go seek elsewhere.
睦州说：“你如果要走，也要去跟师父说一声。”

睦州说：“你如果要走，也要去跟师父说一声。”
Mu-zhou said: If you want to go, also must go tell master.
之后，睦州先来到黄檗处，对他说：
“这个年轻人，非常难得，师父何不雕琢雕琢，使他成为一株大树，留给后人作荫凉呢？”
Later, Mu-zhou went to Huang-bo first, saying:
This young person is hard to come by, master why don't you cut and polish him to enable him to be a big tree to leave shade and coolness for posterity.
黄檗点头同意。
Huang-bo nodded in agreement.

义玄来辞行的时候，黄檗说：
When Yi-xuan went to bid farewell, Huang-bo said:
When Yi-xuan went to bid farewell, Huang-bo said:
“你要想获得开悟，不能到别的地方去，只要到高安滩头大愚和尚那里，他一定会启发你。”
If you want to get enlightened, no need to go elsewhere, only need to go to Gao-an Tan-tou Da-yu monk's place, he will initiate you.
临济来到了大愚那里，把以前的事说了，问：“我到底错在哪里呢？”
Lin-ji reached Da-yu's place, recounted the previous happening, asked: Where did I go wrong?
大愚说：“黄檗这么老婆心切，只是为了使你能够早日开悟，他都快被你累死了, 你还在这里问有什么过错!”
Da-yu said: Huang-bo is caring like a wife, only for you to get enlighten earlier, he almost let you tire him to death, you still come here and ask what's wrong!
临济听了，顿时大悟，说：“原来黄檗佛法无多子！”
Upon hearing these, Lin-ji suddenly realised, said: So Huang-bo's Buddha Dharma don't have many children!
大愚一把掐住他说：“你刚才还问有过无过，现在又怎敢说黄檗佛法无多子。你看出了什么道理？快说，快说！”
Da-yu pinched him and said: You just now still asked have wrong or not, now you still dare to said Huang-bo's Buddha Dharma don't have many children. What meaning have you seen? Quick tell, quick tell!

临济便向大愚肋下擂了三拳。
Lin-ji boxed Da-yu's chest 3 times.
大愚一把推开临济，说：“你的师父是黄檗，不干我的事。”
Da-yu pushed Lin-ji away, saying: Your teacher is Huang-bo, nothing to do with me.
义玄辞别大愚，回到黄檗处。
Yi-xuan took his leave of Da-yu and returned to Huang-bo.
黄檗一见就说：“这家伙来来去去，还有完没完？”
Huang-bo said upon seeing him: This fellow come and go repeatedly, is there an end or not?
义玄说：“昨天领受和尚的意旨，参见了大愚后回来。”
Yi-xuan said: Yesterday received reverend's instruction, went to visit Da-yu and then return.
黄檗说：“大愚有什么话语？”
Huang-bo said: Has Da-yu spoken?
义玄把经过向黄檗叙说了一遍。
Yi-xuan recounted his visit to Huang-bo.

Yi-xuan recounted his visit to Huang-bo.
黄檗说: “这大愚太饶舌多事, 待明日见了, 非痛打他一顿不可!”
Huang-bo said: This Da-yu talk too much, when I see him next day, will surely give him a good beating!
义玄说:“说什么明天, 现在就揍他一顿!”
Yi-xuan said: Why talk about tomorrow, go beat him up now!
一边说着, 一边向黄檗飞掌而击。
As he said these, he flew punches at Huang-bo at the same time.
黄檗呵呵大笑：“这疯颠汉，敢来这里捋虎须！”
Huang-bo laugh heartily: This crazy man, dare to stroke a tiger's beard here!
义玄便大喝了一声。
Yi-xuan loudly shouted once.
黄檗回顾侍者说：“领这疯颠汉参堂去吧。
Huang-bo turned around and said to his attendant: Bring this crazy man to the Lesson hall!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hahaha!
What does "Buddha Dharma don't have many children" means?
Remember GM Lu said: Absolute and One?
What have you been chasing?
How did you get lost?
Level One of Yoga - Focus on One, remember?
