法演禪師語錄 2.40

2.40

上堂，僧問：「如何是極則事？」師云：「何須特地？」乃舉：「僧請益瑯瑘：『清淨本然，云何忽生山河大地？』瑯瑘云：『清淨本然，云何忽生山河大地？』其僧有省。」師云：「金屑雖貴，落眼成翳。」

Ascending the hall, a monk asked, "What is the ultimate matter?" The Master said, "What need is there to make a special effort?" He then cited: "A monk sought instruction from Langye: 'Pure and originally so, how do mountains, rivers, and the great earth suddenly arise?' Langye said, 'Pure and originally so, how do mountains, rivers, and the great earth suddenly arise?' That monk had an awakening." The Master said: "Though gold dust is precious, falling into the eye it causes a cataract."
