7.10

Instructing the assembly, [the Master] said: "All dharmas are originally beyond opposition; meeting the eyes, there is no obstruction whatsoever. Simply because someone severed his arm to seek mind, someone then came begging to repent sins. Once the seal without writing was forged, transmitting the dharma and passing on the robe brought mutual entanglement, leading old Lu of Huangmei to tie a stone to his waist to pound the mortar. Thinking there is a dharma to give people, when questioned he instead said he did not understand, leading descendants of later generations all to chase the clod like Han Lu hounds. Though wishing to uphold the ancestral vehicle, what can be done about stumbling and staggering all over? Examining it in detail, it really is unbearable. If the order were carried out to the fullest, a single strike would smash it to powder. At times sitting quietly and reflecting, even within it there is something lovely. Tell me, what is lovely? Shensha forms an alliance by marriage with an asura; the vajra warrior points his back at the earth deity." He gave a shout.
