1.6

上堂:「一塵纔起,大地全收。」遂拈起拄杖云:「須彌山上走馬,大洋海裏𨁝跳,鬧市中忽撞著,者箇是人知有。且道,黑地裏穿針一句,作麼生道?」良久云:「尋常不欲頻開口,為是渾身著衲衣。」

Ascending the hall, [the master said]: "As soon as a single speck of dust arises, the great earth is completely gathered in." He then held up his staff and said: "Running a horse on Mount Sumeru; jumping about in the great ocean; bumping into it suddenly in the busy market—this is what everyone knows exists. But tell me, how do you utter the phrase about threading a needle in the dark?" After a pause, he said: "Usually I do not wish to open my mouth often, / Because my whole body wears the patched robe."
