6.57

大休大歇底。口邊醭生。舌上草出。直下放教盡去。洗得淨潔。磨得精瑩。如秋在水。如月印空。恁麼湛湛明明。更須知有轉身路子。轉得身時。別無面孔教爾辨白。無辨白處。却昧不得。箇是徹頂透底。窮根極源時節。千聖萬聖。無異蹊轍。妙在回途。借路著脚。明中有暗用處無迹。百草頭。鬧市裏。飄飄揚身。堂堂運步。自然騎聲跨色。超聽越眺恁麼混成。方是衲僧門下事。

For those who have attained great rest and great cessation, mold grows around their mouths and grass sprouts upon their tongues. Directly let everything drop away completely; wash it clean and polish it glistening bright, like autumn in the water, like the moon printed in the sky. When it is so clear and bright, one must still know that there is a path for turning the body. When you turn your body, there is no other face for you to discern; yet at the place where there is nothing to discern, it must not be obscured. This is the moment of penetrating from top to bottom, exhausting the root and reaching the source. For thousands and myriads of sages, there is no different track. The wonder lies in returning along the path, borrowing the road to plant one's feet. Amidst brightness there is darkness; where it functions, it leaves no trace. At the tips of the hundred grasses, in the bustling marketplace, lightly swaying the body, grandly advancing the steps, naturally riding on sound and striding over form, surpassing listening and transcending looking—being so seamlessly blended is truly the affair of the patch-robed monk's gate.
