### [3.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.3.8)

上堂云：「突出難辨，久參未免躊躇，信手拈來，後學那知端的。金風扇物，玉露垂珠，雁過長空，蛩吟幽砌，一一七穿八穴，明明百匝千重，何必棒喝交馳方論照用，直下懸崖撒手便可承當。還有恁麼人麼？見義不為非勇士，臨危不變始驚群。」

> Ascending the hall, he said: “Strikingly prominent and hard to discern, even those of long training inevitably hesitate; picked up with a free hand, how could later students know the truth of it? Autumn winds fan all things, jade dew hangs in beads, wild geese cross the vast sky, crickets sing by the secluded steps: one by one pierced through in seven directions and eight ways, clearly in a hundred coils and a thousand layers. Why must staff and shout fly back and forth before discussing illumination and function? Letting go from the hanging cliff directly beneath, one can then shoulder it. Is there anyone like this? Seeing righteousness and not acting is not a brave person; facing danger without changing only then astounds the crowd.”
