楊岐方會和尚後錄 1.5

1.5

Ascending the hall, [the master said]: "The mind is the sense-base, phenomena are the dust; both are like marks upon a mirror. When marks and grime are exhausted, light begins to appear; when mind and phenomena are both forgotten, nature is true." He then struck the meditation bench once and said: "Where are the mountains, rivers, and the great earth? And how will you speak a phrase that cannot be deceived by others? If you can speak it, speak a phrase at the crossroads; if not, Yangqi loses the advantage today."
