### [4.237](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.4.237)

示眾舉。長慶有時云。寧說阿羅漢有三毒。不可說如來有二種語。不道無語。只是無二種語。保福云。作麼生是如來語。慶云。聾人爭得聞。福云。情知向汝第二頭道。慶云。作麼生是如來語。福云。喫茶去。師云。第一第二頭。似有似無句。坐斷路岐。密密綿綿而不通水泄。打破窠臼。坦坦蕩蕩而別是風規。還會麼。相識滿天下。知心能幾人。

> Instructing the assembly, \[the Master\] brought up: Changqing once said, "Rather say that an arhat has the three poisons than say that the Tathāgata has two kinds of speech. I do not say there is no speech, only that there are no two kinds of speech." Baofu said, "What is the Tathāgata's speech?" Changqing said, "How could a deaf person hear it?" Baofu said, "I knew you were speaking toward the second head." Changqing said, "What is the Tathāgata's speech?" Baofu said, "Go drink tea." The Master said: "First and second heads; phrases of seeming presence and seeming absence. Cutting off the road, continuous and unbroken without letting water leak through; shattering the rut, open and broad, with an extraordinary style. Do you understand? Acquaintances fill the empire; how many can truly know one's heart?"
