1.61

師云:「明知無一物,何用更推求,當處不強名,鋒鋩甚處有。直下攬得,猶是殘弓折箭,堪作什麼用,擬擬躊蹰,陣場掃帚。」以拄杖一時攂下。

The Master said, "Clearly knowing that not a single thing exists, what use is further investigation? Right here, do not force a name on it—where could a sharp edge be found? If you take hold of it directly, it is still a broken bow and snapped arrow—what use can it serve? Hesitating and deliberating, it is just a broom on the battlefield." With his staff he drove them all down at once.
