宏智禪師廣錄 1.171

1.171

Ascending the hall at the commencement of the summer retreat, [the Master] said: "A single dust mote contains immeasurable lands; a single thought transcends immeasurable kalpas. A single body manifests immeasurable sentient beings; a single substance unites immeasurable Buddhas. Therefore it is said: 'Taking the great, perfect awakening as our saṅghārāma, body and mind reside peacefully in the wisdom of equality.' Being so, then it cannot be limited by direction or location, nor can it be bound by periods of time. Self and other harmonizing, they are like milk and water blending together; host and guest interpenetrating, they are like mirror and reflection mutually illuminating. But tell me, how do you discuss and comprehend confining one's feet and protecting living beings?" After a long pause, he said: "Mind to mind without different thoughts; step by step, not lost in direction."
