上堂:「即心是佛,佛不遠人,無心是道,道非物外。三世諸佛只以此心說法,只以此道度生。以此道度生,無生可度;以此心說法,無法可說。無法可說是真說法,無生可度是真度生,當知三世諸佛亦如是,現前大眾亦如是。」乃舉拂子云:「還委悉麼?」復擊禪床云:「如是如是。」
Ascending the hall, [the Master] said: "Mind is Buddha; the Buddha is not far from humanity. No-mind is the Way; the Way is not outside things. The buddhas of the three periods expound the Dharma only with this mind, and save sentient beings only with this Way. Saving sentient beings with this Way, there are no sentient beings to be saved; expounding the Dharma with this mind, there is no Dharma to be expounded. Having no Dharma to be expounded is truly expounding the Dharma; having no sentient beings to be saved is truly saving sentient beings. You should know that the buddhas of the three periods are also like this, and the great assembly present here is also like this." Thereupon he raised his fly-whisk and said, "Do you understand thoroughly?" Again he struck the meditation bed and said, "Like this, like this."
