圓悟佛果禪師語錄 19.55

[Yuanwu] brought up [the case]: "Zhaozhou addressed the assembly, saying, '"The Ultimate Way is without difficulty; it only dislikes picking and choosing. Merely do not harbor hate or love, and it is thoroughly clear." Once there are words, is it picking and choosing, or is it clarity? This old monk is not within clarity; do you people still cherish and protect it or not?' A monk asked, 'Since you are not within clarity, I do not know what is there to cherish and protect?' Zhaozhou said, 'I also do not know.' The monk said, 'Since the Master does not know, why do you say you are not within clarity?' Zhaozhou said, 'It is fine to question the matter; make your prostrations and withdraw.'"
