舉:「舍利弗一日入城,見月上女出城,舍利弗問云:『什麼處去?』女云:『如舍利弗恁麼去。』舍利弗云:『我方入城,汝方出城,何言如舍利弗恁麼去?』女云:『諸佛弟子當住何處?』弗云:『諸佛弟子當住大涅槃。』女云:『諸佛弟子既住大涅槃,我如舍利弗恁麼去。』」師拈云:「住無所住,行無所行,見無所見,用無所用,各人脚跟下廓同太虛,如十日並照觸處光輝。苟知恁麼,則與月上女同證無生得不退轉,隨去來處無不皆在大解脫中,三世諸佛鼻孔一時穿却,說什麼如舍利弗恁麼去。」

He cited: "One day Śāriputra was entering the city when he saw the maiden Candrottarā leaving the city. Śāriputra asked, 'Where are you going?' The maiden said, 'I am going just as Śāriputra goes.' Śāriputra said, 'I have just entered the city and you have just left the city; why do you say that you are going just as Śāriputra goes?' The maiden said, 'Where should the disciples of the buddhas abide?' Śāriputra said, 'The disciples of the buddhas should abide in great nirvāṇa.' The maiden said, 'Since the disciples of the buddhas abide in great nirvāṇa, I am going just as Śāriputra goes.'" The Master commented: "Abiding nowhere to abide, walking nowhere to walk, seeing nothing to be seen, functioning nowhere to function—beneath each person's heels it is vast as the great void, like ten suns shining together, radiant wherever they touch. If you understand thus, then together with the maiden Candrottarā you will realize non-arising and attain non-retrogression; wherever you go or come, everything is within the great liberation. The nostrils of the buddhas of the three periods are pierced in a single instant; what talk is there of going just as Śāriputra goes?"
