宏智禪師廣錄 4.18

4.18

Ascending the hall, the Master said: "Drifting and wafting, the clouds upon the mountain; / murmuring and babbling, the water below the mountain. / I venture to ask the cloud-and-water people therein: / where else would you seek yourselves? Good Zen practitioners! When the mind abides nowhere, phenomena are free from seeing and hearing; when wisdom has no object, the Way transcends sentiment and conception. Lingyun just thus awakened to peach blossoms—thirty years of foolishness, today's wisdom! What about on your own parts? One without tendons in his eyes is poor for a lifetime. Go practice!"
