Shoyoroku - Case 71: Suigan's "Eyebrows" [1] Towards the end of summer [2], Suigan instructed the assembly, saying, "All summer I've preached to you, my brothers. Look here, are Suigan's eyebrows still there? [3]" Hofuku said, "The robber's heart is terrified!" Chokei said, "They are well grown!" Unmon said, "Barrier [4]!" [1]: see case 8 of Hekiganroku. [2]: Summer-sesshin for 3 months. [3]: According to the popular belief a great criminal should lose his eyebrows as a sign of his coming punishment in hell. [4]: Literally kan means "barrier" (cf. Mumonkan). In those days this Chinese word colloquially meant also, "Watch out!" or "There!"
