圓悟佛果禪師語錄 2.27

2.27

Taking up residence at Jiashan, the master received the invitation at Tianning in Gong'an. Holding up the letter of invitation, he showed it to the assembly, saying, "Grasping it on the tips of the hundred grasses—how can that compare to undertaking it right here? Since the mandate has arrived to be carried out, how could one facing the furnace avoid the fire? If you can see it, you cut off the tongues of all people. If not yet so, then let the karmadāna expound it."
