Ascending the hall: "There is no Dharma to speak: Śākyamuni shut his door in the land of radiant illumination. There was an intent to transmit: Bodhidharma faced the wall on Mount Shaoshi. Those who understand the tone recognize it; those who silently illuminate are spiritual. When the Way accords with the center of the ring, there is the wandering of wisdom. Though words fill the world, there is no fault of the mouth. If you can go on in this manner, only then will you know that departing from writing and cutting off speech, pure and wondrously bright, is the place where you originally tread. How do you comprehend it? Do you understand? The golden rooster pecks open the lapis lazuli egg; the jade hare pushes open the gate of the azure sky."
