圓悟佛果禪師語錄 15.38

15.38

Great Master Ma once quoted: 'The Laṅkāvatāra Sūtra takes the words of the Buddha as its source, with gatelessness as the Dharma gate.' Then he said: 'Do you people want to know the mind spoken of by the Buddha? Just your speaking right now is the mind, and the mind is the Buddha. Therefore it says that the mind spoken of by the Buddha is the source, and that this source is gateless is the Dharma gate.' The ancients were exceedingly grandmotherly, wading through mud and water. If you penetrate at a single mention, that is somewhat better; but if you thoroughly investigate doctrines and principles, in the end you will never grope your way to it.
