祖師云：「心隨萬境轉，轉處實能幽，隨流認得性，無喜亦無憂。」真實契此心者，內不見有能證之人，外不見有所證之法，祖師說箇轉處與隨流，皆為迷此心向外取證之者，赴箇程限耳。佛說一大藏教，大喻三千，小喻八百，只是說程限底文字而已。若謂如來實有恁麼事，則是謗佛法僧。

> The Patriarch said: "The mind turns in accord with ten thousand conditions; the place where it turns is truly profound. Following the flow, recognize the nature: there is neither joy nor sorrow." One who truly accords with this mind inwardly sees no person capable of realization, and outwardly sees no dharma that can be realized. The Patriarch's speaking of a place of turning and following the flow was solely to set a provisional stage for those who are confused about this mind and seek outward realization. The Buddha's expounding of the entire canon of teachings—the three thousand great metaphors and the eight hundred small metaphors—is merely writing that speaks of provisional stages. If one says that the Tathāgata really had such a thing, that is slandering the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Saṅgha.
