9.135

上堂:「靜之極,不知動則虛;動之極,不知靜則應,動靜一律,妙乎中道。衲僧家得此三昧,攪長河為酥酪,變大地作黃金,未為分外。不然……」卓主丈:「匹粟斯,喫箇青橄欖。」

Ascending the hall: "At the utmost of stillness, not knowing movement, there is emptiness; at the utmost of movement, not knowing stillness, there is response. Movement and stillness are of one measure, subtly resting in the middle way. Patch-robed monks attaining this samādhi churn the long river into ghee and transform the great earth into gold—this is not beyond their portion. Otherwise..." He struck the staff: "Pisisisi, eat a green olive."
