密菴和尚語錄 1.73

1.73

Ascending the hall: "All propositions of number and non-number—what connection have they with my numinous awareness? A venomous snake crawls into your nostrils, a toad bites your eyes to pieces. And what do you call numinous awareness? There is a sort of fellow who cannot distinguish east from west or north from south, and says: 'Walking, standing, sitting, and lying down, oh! Eating gruel and eating rice, oh!' This is precisely calling a servant boy the master, mistaking a thief for one's son. Jiangshan speaks directly to you all: Vipaśyin Buddha paid attention to this early on, yet down to the present day has not attained its subtlety."
