大慧普覺禪師語錄 8.32

8.32

Instructing the assembly: "Where action cannot reach, speaking is not difficult; where speaking cannot reach, action is not difficult. When action and speech are both hard to reach and not hard to reach, cast away the great table mountain before the gate. Therefore it is said: 'The precious sword of keen edge is constantly revealed before you; it can kill people and it can also bring people to life.' Stepping forward, you lose your body and life; stepping backward, you dissolve like tiles and ice. Neither advancing nor retreating, above there is no scheme to soar into the heavens, and below there is no plan to enter the earth. Just at such a time, what is a patch-robed monk's single road of turning around? Do you understand? An expert hand shows an expert hand among experts; the bullseye hits the bullseye right in the center."
