8.7
Instructing the assembly: "Penetrating the celestial pass on the point of a needle, / Applying intention and forgetting thoughts are both intolerable. / Directly going under, millions of kalpas have already passed; / Even attaining buddhahood right now has not yet matched the same practice. / Therefore Xuefeng said, 'At Wangzhou Pavilion I met you; at Wushi Ridge I met you; in front of the monks' hall I met you.' If you are a sharp fellow, hearing it briefly mentioned, you will perk up and walk on, without lingering and hesitating. Do you understand? Stick your head out beyond heaven and see: who is a person like me?"
