2.177

永嘉到六祖，遶繩床振錫而立，祖云：「夫沙門，具三千威儀八萬細行，大德從何方而來，生大我慢。」師云：「生死事大，無常迅速。」祖云：「何不體取無生，了取無速？」師云：「體即無生，達本無速。」祖云：「汝甚得無生意耶。」師云：「無生豈有意？」祖云：「既無意，誰為分別？」師云：「分別亦非意。」祖云：「如是如是。」

Yongjia arrived at the Sixth Patriarch's place. He walked around the rope-bed, shook his staff, and stood there. The Patriarch said, "A śramaṇa is endowed with the three thousand dignities and eighty thousand subtle conducts. From where has the Great Worthy come, generating such great conceit?"
The Master said, "The matter of birth and death is great; impermanence is swift."
The Patriarch said, "Why not embody the unborn and comprehend what is without swiftness?"
The Master said, "The embodiment itself is unborn; reaching the source, there is no swiftness."
The Patriarch said, "Do you deeply obtain the meaning of the unborn?"
The Master said, "How could the unborn have meaning?"
The Patriarch said, "Since there is no meaning, who makes the distinctions?"
The Master said, "Making distinctions is also not a meaning."
The Patriarch said, "So it is, so it is."
