筠州洞山悟本禪師語錄 1.49

1.49

師示眾曰：「體得佛向上事，方有些子語話分。」僧便問：「如何是語話？」師曰：「語話時闍黎不聞。」云：「和尚還聞否？」師曰：「待我不語話時即聞。」僧問：「如何是正問正答？」師曰：「不從口裏道。」云：「若有人問，師還答否？」師曰：「也未曾問。」問：「如何是從門入者非寶？」師曰：「便好休。」

The Master instructed the assembly, saying: "Only when you have embodied the matter beyond the Buddha do you have a small bit of speech and conversation." A monk then asked: "What is speech and conversation?" The Master said: "When speaking, the ācārya does not hear." [The monk] said: "Does the upādhyāya still hear or not?" The Master said: "Wait until I do not speak, and then it is heard." The monk asked: "What is a proper question and proper answer?" The Master said: "It is not spoken from the mouth." [The monk] said: "If someone asks, does the Master still answer or not?" The Master said: "They have also never asked." [The monk] asked: "What is meant by 'that which enters through the gate is not the treasure'?" The Master said: "It would be best to stop."
