7.11

He cited: "When Master Wu appointed a head monk, he ascended the hall and said: 'Saying "just this" is very much like throwing sand into the eyes; saying "just not this" is like pouring water into the ears. Directly without concern, one sinks into level ground; having other dynamic contrivances, one falls into pits and ditches.' But ultimately, what about it? 'In the Jetavana, the meandering spring flows swiftly; / On the Vulture Peak, steep and towering, the clouds come out late.'" He added, "Yunju opens a great furnace, / Not only refining Buddhas and refining Patriarchs; / Whatever there is, bring it all, / And discern it within the blazing flames. / If it is right, there is peace right on the spot; / If not, one should quickly take a step back. / Forging out eyes of vajra, / Truly heaven and earth are uniquely revealed. / Although having reached this state, / One must know the path of transcendence. / Do you fully understand? / Let loose Sansheng's blind ass, / To kick to death the fierce tiger of Daxiong."
