1.71

師示眾曰:「我有三路接人,鳥道玄路展手。」僧問:「師尋常教學人行鳥道,未審如何是鳥道?」師曰:「不逢一人。」云:「如何行?」師曰:「直須足下無私去。」云:「秖如行鳥道,莫便是本來面目否?」

The Master instructed the assembly, saying, "I have three paths to receive people: the bird's path, the dark path, and the open hand." A monk asked, "The Master constantly teaches students to travel the bird's path; I wonder, what is the bird's path?" The Master said, "Not meeting a single person." The monk said, "How does one walk it?" The Master said, "Underfoot there must simply be no self-interest." The monk said, "Just as one walks the bird's path, is that not the original face?"
