大慧普覺禪師語錄 2.48

2.48

結夏上堂：「此日諸方叢林，莫不踞菩薩乘修寂滅行，以大圓覺為我伽藍，身心安居平等性智。徑山又且不然，從今日去九十日內，與諸衲子共喫無米飯，咬優曇根，飲不濕水，說睡夢語。且道恁麼修行，與諸方結制，相去多少？」良久云：「將此深心奉塵剎，是則名為報佛恩。」下座。

Ascending the hall at the start of the summer retreat, [the Master said]: "On this day in monasteries everywhere, none fail to mount the bodhisattva vehicle to cultivate the practice of quietude and extinction, taking Great Perfect Awakening as their saṅghārāma, with body and mind dwelling peacefully in the wisdom of equality. Jingshan is not so: from today onward, for ninety days, I will join all you patch-robed monks in eating rice without grains, chewing udumbara roots, drinking water that does not wet, and speaking words in a sleep-dream. Now tell me, how far apart is such practice from the retreat rituals everywhere?" After a long pause he said, "'Offering this profound mind to worlds like dust, / This is termed repaying the Buddha's kindness.'" He stepped down from the seat.
