香严智闲禅师是百丈禅师的弟子，学通三藏，知识广博。
ZM Xiang-yan Zhi-xian is a disciple of ZM Bai-zhang, proficient in Tripitaka, knowledge widespread.
百丈禅师圆寂的时候，指示他到师兄沩山灵佑那里去继续参禅学道。
After the demise of ZM Bai-zhang, he was instructed to seek his dharma brother, Wei-shan's Ling-you to continue his Zen and Dao studies.
香严依言前往。
Xiang-yan abide the instruction and went forth.
Xiang-yan abide the instruction and went forth.
有一天，灵佑禅师对香严说：
Ond day, ZM Ling-you said to Ziang-yan:
“我听说你在百丈先师处，问一答十，问十答百，这是你聪明伶俐的地方。
我现在想问你没出娘胎时的本分事，你试着说一句，让我预测一下你的未来。”
I heard that when you were at late master, Bai-zhang, one question you gave 10 answers, and 10 questions 100 answers, this showed your intelligence and swift reaction.

香严想了好半天，才说出几句，但都被灵佑否定了。
After pondering on this for more than half a day, Xiang-yan then spoke a few sentences, but all negated by Ling-you.
香严说：“还是请师兄为我说说吧。”
Xiang-yan said: Then, it is better if Dharma brother explain for me.
灵佑斩钉截铁(chop nail, bend & break metal)地说：
Ling-you said very decisively:
“我不能告诉你。因为我告诉你答案的话，那仍然是我的东西，和你不相干。我告诉了你，你将来会后悔，甚至会埋怨我的。”
I cannot tell you. Because if I tell you the answer, that is still mine, nothing to do with you. If I tell you, then in the future you will regret, even blame me.
I cannot tell you. Because if I tell you the answer, that is still mine, nothing to do with you. If I tell you, then in the future you will regret, even blame me.
香严只得退回僧室。
Xiang-yan can only retreat to the sangha's room.
他把自己收集的各地禅师的语句都翻了一遍，竟没有一句现成的话可以来应对，不由地感叹画饼不能充饥，于是把这些笔记都烧掉了。
He turned over all his collection from Zen masters of many places, eventually can't find a ready statement on this in answer. can't help feeling sad and sighed that "Draw biscuit cannot appease hunger", then burnt all his notes.

香严哭着告别灵佑师兄，说：
Xiang-yan bid a crying farewell of Dharma brother Ling-you, saying:
“今生不再学佛法，就做个长期行脚的吃饭僧算了，免得劳心役神。”
Won't learn Buddha Dharma anymore in this life, will become a long term travelling rice-eating monk, needless to tire his heart and waste energy.

香严来到南阳，看到慧忠国师的遗迹，便留在这里。
Xiang-yan arrived at Nan-yang, saw State Master Hui-zhong's remaining trace, and stay in this place.
有一天，他正在割除草木，随手扔出一块碎石，那石头恰巧打在竹竿上，发出清脆的声音。
One day, when he was cutting away grass and wood, just threw away a piece of broken rock, that rock coincidentally hit a bamboo pole, emitting a clear sound.
香严愣了一下，突然省悟了。
Xiang-yan was dumbfounded for a moment, suddenly reach realisation.
他立刻回到房中沐浴焚香，向着灵佑禅师的方向遥遥叩拜，由衷地说道：“师兄实在慈悲，当时如果对我说了，哪有今天的开悟？”
He immediately returned to his room to bathe then lit incense, paying respect to ZM Ling-you that is far away, with deep feeling said:

Dharma brother is really kind and compassionate, if you have told me, then won't have today's enlightenment.
禅师启发弟子，是逼他自省自悟。
Zen masters initiate students by forcing them to Self reflect and self realise.
香严受此逼拶，明白了依靠书本、依靠他人是无用的，绝望之下，一把火烧了笔记，决心不再学佛法。
但也正是在这种绝境中，抛石击竹的偶然一声，撞开了他大彻大悟的智慧之门。
画饼不能充饥，悟道全靠自己。
画饼不能充饥，悟道全靠自己。
Drawing biscuit can't appease hunger, Realising path all dependent on Self.
在觉悟真理的过程中，常常是绝境逢生。

Hahaha!
Still remember the great successor, VM LN, and his cronies, who think that they can get "Answers to Enlightenment" from GM Lu?
The ones that truly attentive to GM Lu's teachings and reach a certain level of realisation or enlightenment, understand what GM Lu said when he said that "Enlightenment cannot tell"!
When you force a Living Buddha to give you answers to enlightenment;
When you force a pronouncement of being enlightened through external means;
You, like Xiang-yan will not be able to reach full realisation or enlightenment at all!
Look at all the published announcements that you churned?
Look at all that you have done to fellow students and even members of the Sangha Assembly?
Too bad for you, all recorded online and some shared in this blog too!
Yes!
Evidence of your lacking and sadly also evidence of where you are heading to next in the 6 realms of transmigration!
A battle started by you that sadly result in yourself being the greatest casualty!
Who hurt who?
True knowledge of Buddha Dharma?
Needless to act at all, agree?
The "Telling the Truth as it is" series of articles in this blog?
They are all out of Boddhicitta to save lost and ignorant souls like you and cronies.
Hahaha!
Save yourself NOW!
Anyway, only you can save yourself!
Cheers all
