8.30

上堂,舉:「僧問馬祖:『如何是佛?』祖云:『即心是。』」師云:「馬大師一隻透心箭子,中者絕消息,今日看看,鋒稜盡矣。」

Ascending the hall, he brought up [the following]: "A monk asked Mazu, 'What is the Buddha?' Mazu said, 'Mind as it is.'" The master said, "Great Master Ma's single arrow piercing the heart: those it hits lose all news. Looking at it today, its sharp edge is completely gone."
