虛堂和尚語錄 9.20

9.20

He ascended the hall: "Noise is not as good as quiet; busyness is not as good as leisure. When both quiet and noise are eliminated, it is called attaining the principle and returning to the source, where phenomena and principle are severed. When the sun disk is right at noon, how do you deliberate?" Striking the whisk, [he said]: "I told you not to walk the road beneath the mountain; sure enough, the gibbons' cries are heart-rending sounds."
