明覺禪師語錄 2.73

2.73

上堂云：「大無外，小無內，半合半開，成團成塊。老胡既隔絕，衲子多違背，從他千古萬古長漫漫，填溝塞壑沒人會。」以拄杖卓地一下云：「歸堂。」

Ascending the hall, the Master said, “So vast there is no exterior, so small there is no interior; half closed and half open, forming a ball and forming a lump. Since the Old Barbarian was shut off, patch-robed monks have mostly turned away from it. Let it go on endlessly through thousands and tens of thousands of kalpas; filling trenches and choking ravines, no one understands.” He struck the ground once with his staff and said, “Return to the hall.”
