宏智禪師廣錄 1.153

1.153

上堂舉僧問古德。曹谿路上。還有俗談也無。德云。六祖是盧行者。師云。好諸禪德。直下無窠窟。不用求奇特。皓玉本無瑕。雕文喪君德。

Ascending the hall, [the Master] cited a monk asking an ancient worthy: "Along the road of Caoxi, is there still worldly talk or not?" The worthy said: "The Sixth Patriarch was Postulant Lu." The Master said: "Splendid, venerable Chan monks! Directly without a nest or burrow; no need to seek anything extraordinary. Bright jade is fundamentally without flaw; carving patterns ruins the prince's virtue."
