金陵清涼院文益禪師語錄 1.78

1.78

謹禪師侍立次，師問一僧云：「自離此間，甚麼處去來？」云：「入嶺來。」師云：「不易。」云：「虛涉他如許多山水。」師云：「如許多山水也不惡。」其僧無語，謹於此有省。

While Chan Master Jin was standing in attendance, the Master asked a monk, "Since leaving here, where have you been?" He said, "I went into the mountain ranges." The Master said, "That could not have been easy." He said, "I trudged through all those mountains and rivers in vain." The Master said, "All those mountains and rivers were not bad either." The monk had no words; Jin had an insight at this.
