明覺禪師語錄 3.61

3.61

He cited: "A monk asked Fengxue, 'Speech and silence involve transcendence and subtlety; how can one penetrate without transgression?' Fengxue said, 'I always remember the third month south of the river, / Where the partridges cry and a hundred flowers are fresh.' A monk once asked Xuedou, and I said to him, 'Cleaving the belly and gouging out the heart—how about that then?'" He added, "Blowing on the fire along with the wind is another household; pitying the turtle while harming the softshell turtle must certainly have an owner."
