瑞州洞山良价禪師語錄 1.40

1.40

Once, as the Master was crossing water with Yunju, the Master asked, "How deep is the water?" Yunju said, "Not wet." The Master said, "Coarse fellow!" Yunju said, "Please, Master, speak." The Master said, "Not dry." (Wuzu Yan said, "The two men spoke like this—was there superior and inferior or not? Today, as I swing my sleeves in walking, I will lay it bare for all of you: 'Crossing the water, one phrase is not wet: pearls pile high in the storehouses. Crossing the water, one phrase is not dry: with not even an awl, why speak of poverty? When neither path of dry or wet is involved, let the green waters and blue mountains be as they will.'")
