4.183

Ascending the hall on the eighth day of the fourth month: "The water of nature-emptiness is clear and thorough; the body of pure wisdom is round and bright. Therein, do not bathe the body; right then and there, totally free of dust. There is attaining buddhahood and there is descending of the spirit; there is the other shore and there is the deluded ford. Babbling and prattling, this is its beginning; clinging and attaching, this is its cause. At this very time, Śākyamuni, do not resent foul water poured right over your head. Why need one recite the power of that Avalokiteśvara? Naturally, it returns to the person himself. Good people, just when the ladle handle is in your hand, what should you do? Without experiencing a single affair, one does not grow in a single wisdom."
