宏智禪師廣錄 3.13

3.13

[The Master] cited Xuefeng saying: "Sitting beside the rice basket on the ground, countless people starve to death; sitting beside the ocean water on the ground, countless people die of thirst." Xuansha said, "Sitting inside the rice basket, countless people starve to death; with ocean water over their heads, countless people die of thirst." Yunmen said, "The entire body is rice; the entire body is water." The Master said, "I am not so: sitting inside the rice basket, countless people burst to death from overeating; with ocean water over their heads, countless people are drowned to death. The former suffers from not swallowing; the latter fails by not spitting out. Just as Yunmen said, 'The entire body is rice; the entire body is water'—arriving here, there is nowhere for you to swallow or spit out."
