 THE GATELESS GATE - Chapter 43. Shuzan's Shippei 四十三 首山竹篦 | hide chinese . show chinese | 首山和尚、拈竹篦示衆云、汝等諸人、若喚作竹篦則觸。 Shuzan Osho held up his shippei [staff of office] before his disciples and said, "You monks! If you call this a shippei, you oppose its reality. 不喚作竹篦則背。 If you do not call it a shippei, you ignore the fact. 汝諸人、且道、喚作甚麼。 Tell me, you monks, what will you call it?" Mumon's Comment 無門曰、 喚作竹篦則觸。 If you call it a shippei, you oppose its reality. 不喚作竹篦則背。 If you do not call it a shippei, you ignore the fact. 不得有語、不得無語。 Words are not available; silence is not available. 速道、速道。 Now, tell me quickly, what is it? Mumon's Verse 頌曰
