宏智禪師廣錄 3.10

3.10

[The Master] cited a monk asking Fengxue: "Speech and silence involve transcendence and subtlety; how can one penetrate without transgression?" Xue said, "I constantly recall Jiangnan in the third month—where the partridges cry, the hundred flowers are fragrant." Xuedou said, "Splitting open the belly, gouging out the heart." The Master said, "Stark naked, brightly rounded, completely without seam or edge. Tell me, Fengxue had no seam or edge—how does that compare to Xuedou having no seam or edge? Do you understand? Blending with the light stirs up trouble; scraping clean founds a household."
