Ascending the hall upon re-entering the monastery, [the Master] said, "Escaping is just like a bird leaving its cage; the waters and clouds are about to be the same as before. Faintly like a melody barely fit to hear, it is blown again by the wind into a different tune."
He further said, "Coming from nowhere, going nowhere. Moving like this, the ten directions cannot contain you, and the three realms cannot turn you. Ultimately, where does one land? Do you understand? Before the stūpa, the ancient monastery foundation; the family style, clear and pure, remains just as of old."
