大慧普覺禪師語錄 1.14

1.14

Ascending the hall: "The Patriarch said: 'When the one mind does not arise, the myriad dharmas are without fault. Without fault, there are no dharmas; not arising, there is no mind. The subject follows the object into extinction; the object pursues the subject into subsidence. The object is an object because of the subject; the subject is a subject because of the object.' For a great and small patriarch, he actually held the views of a lecturer! Jingshan is not like that: eyes do not see themselves; knives do not cut themselves. Eating food relieves hunger; drinking water quenches thirst. Linji and Deshan were deliberately deluded and astray, wasting energy wielding blows and shouts. Take away the blows and discard the shouts—how can reckless fellows like Meng the Eighth be restrained?"
