6.10
Ascending the hall, [the Master] said: "'When you speak directly of views and perceptions, views and perceptions are the mind; right at the mind are views and perceptions; views and perceptions are just as things are now.' Putting 'just as things are now' aside for the moment: when the ancient buddhas and the open pillars intersect, when Campā and Silla bump foreheads, when the round radiance of ten thousand miles appears behind the crown of the head, when Yunmen hides his body inside the Northern Dipper, when Muzhou carries a plank, and Zhaozhou drinks tea—how then will you negotiate this?" Thereupon he gave a shout and said: "If I had not halted you with a shout, I would have nearly thrown the sixty sexagenary cycles into disorder!" He then stepped down from the seat.
