3.68

[Hongzhi] cited: A monk asked Changsha, "How does one turn the mountains, rivers, and great earth to return to oneself?" Changsha said, "How does one turn oneself to return to the mountains, rivers, and great earth?" The Master [Hongzhi] said, "Although host and guest interchange, still mud and water are not distinguished. If one twists their nostrils so that neither like this nor not like this is permissible at all, what should one do? Nowadays the royal law is somewhat strict: people are not permitted to muscle in on lines of business or seize marketplaces."
