7.22

Ascending the hall, he cited: "An ancient said, 'Movement is deception; stillness is slander. Above movement and stillness there is the matter; this old monk's mouth is narrow and cannot speak of it for you.'" The Master said, "It may be so, but he only spoke one half. As for this mountain monk, it is not so: speech is deception; silence is slander. Above speech and silence there is the matter; this old monk's tongue is short and cannot speak of it for you. Do you fully understand? A double-edged diamond jewel sword, a pair of holeless iron hammers."
