2.61

上堂,舉:「僧問洞山:『如何是善知識眼?』山云:『紙撚無油。』若問白雲,對道:『無油不點燈。』雖然如是,也較洞山三千里,秖是其間有箇好處。有甚好處?諸人黑地裏撞著露柱,悟去也不定。」

Ascending the hall, he cited: "A monk asked Dongshan, 'What is the eye of a kalyāṇamitra?' Dongshan said, 'A paper twist without oil.' Were you to ask Baiyun, I would answer, 'Without oil, one does not light the lamp.' Even so, this is still three thousand miles away from Dongshan; yet within it there is a good point. What is the good point? In the pitch-dark, you bump into the bare pillar, and perhaps you will awaken."
