3.25

Sometimes tapping, sometimes chanting; / Answering questions according to capacity, speaking appropriately. / In reception, how could they ever miss the principle and decorum? / Yet those of shallow understanding give rise to slander. / Either expounding in pairs, or speaking singly, / Only aiming to sharpen Chan delight at the crucial juncture. / Opening the provisional is not for contending in cleverness; / Radiating light is only to distinguish the worthy and wise. / There are circular figures; there are silent discourses; / Carried from a thousand leagues, eyes gaze and blink. / Myriad marvelous subtleties are one circular emptiness; / The vajra eye penetrates the authentic message.
(The above is the lineage of Guiyang.)
