虛堂和尚語錄 1.34

1.34

上堂：「續鳧截鶴，夷嶽盈壑，衲僧家如油入麵，還知招寶山把等子秤麼？知得，南海東頭底，許爾商量；不然，市廛邸店，不得耳語。」

Ascending the hall: "Lengthening the duck's legs and cutting the crane's; leveling the peak to fill the ravine. For patch-robed monks, it is like oil entering flour. Do you still know about using a balance scale on Mount Zhaobao? If you know, I allow you to discuss what is at the eastern end of the Southern Sea; otherwise, in market stalls and taverns, whispering in ears is not permitted."
