### [4.58](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.4.58)

上堂云。富有萬德。從教影事崢嶸。蕩無纖塵。把定言思杳絕。寂默家風自照。真常境界獨游。拈起也玲玲瓏瓏。千差萬別混不得。放下也灑灑落落。十方三世覓無蹤。所以古人道。撈籠不肯住。叫喚不回頭。古聖不安排。至今無所處。且道。作麼生。行履得恁麼相應去。還相體悉麼。良久云。行到水窮處。坐看雲起時。

> Ascending the hall, he said: "Richly endowed with the ten thousand virtues, letting shadowy affairs tower high. Swept clean without a speck of dust, firmly arresting speech and thought into utter silence. The family style of quiet stillness illuminates itself; in the realm of true permanence, one roams alone. Holding it up, it is crystal clear—the thousand differences and myriad distinctions cannot mingle with it. Setting it down, it is light and free—sought throughout the ten directions and the three periods of time, no trace remains. Therefore the ancients said: 'Refusing to stay in a coop, never turning the head when called. The ancient sages did not arrange it, and to this day it has no fixed place.' Tell me, how does one practice to attain such resonance? Do you understand?" After a long pause, he said: "'Walking to where the water ends, / sitting to watch when clouds arise.'"
