- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [4.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.4.38)

上堂云。雲門優穩身心。自解隨波逐浪。臨濟變通手段。它能影草探竿。且道。天童門下合作麼生。開池不待月。池成月自來。

> Ascending the hall, \[the Master\] said: "Yunmen was calm and settled in body and mind, naturally knowing how to follow the waves and pursue the billows. Linji had versatile methods, able to test with shadowy grass and sounding poles. But tell me, under the gate of Tiantong, what should be done? Dig the pond without waiting for the moon; when the pond is finished, the moon comes of itself."
