宏智禪師廣錄 6.33

6.33

In the daytime seeing the sun, at night seeing the moon—a season that does not deceive one another. This is the place of a patch-robed monk's level and steady walking, naturally without seams or corners. If you wish to go forward in such a level and steady way, you must thoroughly exhaust the subtle pounding and weaving under the mental faculty before you can succeed. Do you want it not to be subtle and obscure? You must be able to sit through and sever it, to put it down, to reach to the end, and to illuminate it completely. When light and shadow are both forgotten, the skin peels away, and sense faculties and dusts are completely cleansed, naturally the eyes are clear and distinct, and personal functioning is fully equipped. At all places without entanglement, at all times precisely corresponding. In brightness there is darkness; in darkness there is brightness. A solitary boat carrying the moon, spending the night amid reed blossoms. A patch of radiance is truly like this.
