又曰：「隨類墮者，秖今於一切聲色物物上轉身去，不墮階級，喚作隨類墮。」又曰：「尊貴墮者，法身法性是尊貴邊事，亦須轉却，是尊貴墮。秖如露地白牛，是法身極，則亦須轉，却免他坐一色無辨處，竝（法身白牛）是稱斷供養邊事，欲須供養須得此食，所以無味之味亦曰無漏是堪供養，竝餘觸污之食，非無漏解脫之食也。有人問百丈：『以何為食？』曰：『無漏為食。』雲巖曰：『莫將以味為供養。』道吾曰：『知有保任處，盡是供養。』」

> He also said, "As for the fall according with kind, it is just turning around now upon all sounds, forms, and things, not falling into stages and ranks; this is called the fall according with kind." He also said, "As for the fall of the noble and exalted, the dharmakāya and Dharma-nature are matters on the noble and exalted side; they too must be turned away from—this is the fall of the noble and exalted. Just like the white ox on open ground, which is the utmost of the dharmakāya, it must also be turned away from, avoiding sitting in one color with nowhere to distinguish. Both (the dharmakāya and the white ox) are praised as matters on the side of severing offerings. If one wishes to receive an offering, one must obtain this food; therefore, the flavor of no flavor is also called being without outflows and is fit for offerings. All other foods of contact and defilement are not the food of liberation without outflows. Someone asked Baizhang, 'What do you take as food?' He said, 'I take the absence of outflows as food.' Yunyan said, 'Do not take flavor as an offering.' Daowu said, 'Wherever one knows the existence of It and protects and maintains It, all is an offering.'"
