8.13

上堂云:「大眾!傅大士道:『須彌芥子父,芥子須彌爺,山水坦然平,敲氷來煮茶。』曾聞傅大士乃彌勒大士化身,看他通箇消息,不妨著實。山僧今日土上加泥,亦有箇頌子:須彌納芥不容易,芥納須彌匹似閑,長河攪著成酥酪,輕輕擊透祖師關。」

Ascending the hall, [the master] said, "Great assembly! Mahāsattva Fu said, 'Sumeru is the father of the mustard seed; the mustard seed is the grandfather of Sumeru. The mountains and rivers are tranquil and level; chop the ice to boil tea.' I have heard that Mahāsattva Fu was an incarnation of Mahāsattva Maitreya; see how he communicates this news—it certainly hits the mark! Today this mountain monk will add mud to earth, and also has a verse:
Mount Sumeru taking in a mustard seed is not easy; / A mustard seed taking in Sumeru seems quite effortless. / Stirring the long river turns it into ghee; / Lightly strike right through the patriarchal barrier."
