汾陽無德禪師語錄 2.4

2.4

The Sixth Patriarch asked Venerable Rang: "Where have you come from?" "I have come from Venerable An of Mount Song." The Patriarch said: "What thing comes thus?" "To explain it as resembling a single thing would not hit the mark." The Patriarch said: "Does it still rely on cultivation and realization, or not?" "Cultivation and realization are not absent, but defilement cannot be had." The Patriarch said: "Just this non-defilement is what all Buddhas protect and keep in mind; you should preserve it well."
