汾陽無德禪師語錄 1.50

1.50

The Master said: "The venerable elders in all directions had no other choice but to talk east and speak west. You all assume it must be done like this, extensively laying out explanations, competing to gather your heads together, without sleep or rest, saying, 'I am investigating.' Where do you intend to investigate? An ancient said, 'Applying effort toward the outside is entirely the work of a foolish dolt.' You must quickly have faith in this. There is no need to stand for long. Take care."
