法演禪師語錄 2.94

2.94

Ascending the hall, a monk asked, "What is the Buddha?" The Master said, "Where have you been going for so long?" He then said, "Before Bodhidharma came, winter was cold and summer was hot; after Bodhidharma came, night was dark and day was bright. If you can make a single plain and honest turning word, eating salt you smell saltiness, eating vinegar you smell sourness; if you cannot speak, it is the one before Kāśyapa's gate."
