On opening the brazier, ascending the hall, [the Master] said, "Flames emerge from cold ashes—the old family style; precisely within the direct recipient's enjoyment. A flake of snow flies here and ends upon the stove; the whole body without image shares the same efficacy. Remember: Xuefeng said, 'The buddhas of the three times turn the great dharmacakra within the flames.' Xuansha said, 'The flames expound the Dharma for the buddhas of the three times; the buddhas of the three times stand on the ground and listen.'"
The Master said, "Right here, body and mind are one suchness, outside the body there is no remainder. The speaker is the listener; the listener is the speaker. Only then does one know: before one's eyes there is no ācārya, in this place there is no old monk. If it is not yet so, investigate at the brazier."
