虛堂和尚語錄 2.55

2.55

上堂：「二林初無門戶與人近傍，亦不置之於無何有之鄉，只要諸人如鐵入土與土俱化，然後可以發越，其如運糞入者，吾末如之何。」

Ascending the hall: "Erlin fundamentally has no gate or door for people to draw near to, nor does it place them in the land of nothingness. It only requires you all to be like iron entering the earth, transforming together with the earth; only then can you break forth. But as for those who haul dung inside, what can I do with them?"
