大慧普覺禪師語錄 4.34

4.34

上堂：「今朝四月初一，衲僧放下楖栗，雖然不許默照，須要人人面壁。既不許默照，為甚麼却須面壁？不見白雲師翁有言：『多處添些子，少處減些子。』」

Ascending the hall: "Today is the first day of the fourth month; patch-robed monks put down their walking staffs. Although silent illumination is not permitted, everyone must face the wall. Since silent illumination is not permitted, why must one face the wall? Have you not seen Master Grandfather Baiyun say: 'Where there is much, add a little; where there is little, reduce a little'?"
