宏智禪師廣錄 4.145

4.145

上堂舉。僧問智門和尚。如何是佛。門云。踏破草鞋赤脚走。如何是佛向上事。門云。拄杖頭上挑日月。師云。踏破草鞋赤脚走。拄杖頭上挑日月。智門真得祖家風。放出雲門廣長舌。大智如愚。大功若拙。用盡工夫參不徹。莫於平地上增堆。休向虛空裏釘橛。

Ascending the hall, he cited: A monk asked Venerable Zhiman, 'What is the Buddha?' Zhiman said, 'Treading through straw sandals and walking barefoot.' 'What is the matter beyond the Buddha?' Zhiman said, 'Carrying the sun and moon on the tip of a staff.' The Master said: Treading through straw sandals and walking barefoot; carrying the sun and moon on the tip of a staff. Zhiman truly attained the ancestral house style, letting loose Yunmen's broad and long tongue. Great wisdom seems like folly; great skill seems clumsy. Having exhausted all effort, still not thoroughly investigated—do not pile mounds upon flat ground, stop driving stakes into empty space!
