宏智禪師廣錄 9.246

9.246

默默工夫。心田自鋤。醭生唇上滿。泥斵鼻頭餘。
少林何曾說話。曹溪不識文書。誰言伎倆渾無巧。
自信家風也不疎。

Silent work: hoeing one's own mind-ground.
Mold grows plentiful upon the lips; mud is pared away from the tip of the nose.
When did Shaolin ever speak? Caoxi did not know written words.
Who says there is no cleverness at all in these skills?
I am confident that my family custom is not remiss.
