[Hongzhi] cited: Yunmen instructed the assembly, saying, "Even if whatever meets the eye is without obstruction, and one thoroughly penetrates that nominal entities, phrasal entities, and all phenomena are empty—mountains, rivers, and the great earth being nominal entities, which also cannot be grasped—and this is called the samādhi of the nature-ocean being completely equipped, it is still waves rippling continuously without wind. Even if one eliminates knowledge within awakening, and awakening is Buddha-nature itself, being called 'a person of no affairs'—one must still know there is a single opening that goes beyond." The Master [Hongzhi] said, "Host and guest do not harmonize; both have faults. Give each of them twenty blows of the staff. But what about the opening that goes beyond? Due to gazing at the moon, patterns form on the rhinoceros's horn; / startled by thunder, flowered patterns enter the elephant's tusk."
