大慧普覺禪師語錄 2.54

2.54

Ascending the hall, [the Master] held up his staff, showed it to the assembly, and said: "Do you see?" He struck it once and said, "Do you hear? If you say you truly see and truly hear, you are someone chasing sounds and pursuing forms." He lifted it up again and said, "Do you see?" He struck it once again and said, "Do you hear? If you say you do not see and do not hear, you are someone avoiding forms and fleeing from sounds. What is it ultimately?" Throwing it down, he said, "A crane trapped in the ninefold marsh finds it hard to spread its wings; a horse lacking the capacity for a thousand leagues pursues the wind in vain."
