圓悟佛果禪師語錄 18.11

18.11

Even so, if there is one among you who can forget conditions and cut off thought, stepping forward to say, 'What is mind transmission?'—if you understand, it has already been transmitted; if you do not understand, setting mind aside for a moment, ultimately what is that single word? Return to the hall and rest."
