2.131

示眾云:「任爾橫說竪說,未是宗門苗裔。若據宗門苗裔,是甚熱椀鳴?三乘十二分教說夢,達磨西來說夢。若有老宿開堂為人說法,將利刀殺却百千萬箇,有什麼過?」又云:「將謂合有與麼說話底道理。」

He instructed the assembly, saying: "Though you speak this way and that, you are not yet scions of the school. If based on a scion of the school, what hot-bowl ringing is this? The three vehicles and twelve divisions of the teaching speak of dreams; Bodhidharma coming from the West speaks of dreams. If an old master ascends the hall to expound the Dharma for others, taking a sharp knife and killing hundreds of thousands of them, what fault would there be?" He also said, "You would imagine there ought to be a principle for such talk."
