1.54

上堂云:「上是天,下是地,南北東西依舊位,釋迦老子弄精魂,達磨西來多忌諱,忽有箇漢出來道:『和尚低聲。』但向伊道:秖要拋塼引玉。」

Ascending the hall, he said: "Above is heaven, below is earth; north, south, east, and west remain in their old positions. Old man Śākyamuni works his marvelous spirit; Bodhidharma's coming from the west has many taboos. If a fellow suddenly stepped forward and said, 'Venerable monk, lower your voice,' I would just say to him: 'I only wanted to cast a brick to draw a piece of jade.'"
