密菴和尚語錄 1.319

1.319

神光不昧，萬古徽猷，只此靈鋒，阿誰敢擬？大凡超宗之士垂手為人，等閑示一機一境，快如倚天長劍相似，直下取人命根了無異轍，終不向平地上與人和泥合水。巖頭謂：「一一從自己胸襟流出，蓋天蓋地。」豈虛語哉？

The spiritual light is not dimmed; it is an admirable model for ten thousand ages. Facing this sharp blade alone, who dares to approach? Generally, when people who transcend the lineage extend a hand for others, casually displaying a dynamic or a realm, it is swift like a long sword leaning against heaven, cutting directly through someone's root of life with no alternative track, never mixing mud and water with others on flat ground. Yantou said: 'Each and every thing flows forth from one's own chest, covering heaven and covering earth.' How could this be empty talk?
