如淨和尚語錄 1.47

1.47

米船歸。上堂。船無底米無粒。積岳堆山。洪波直入。恁麼歸來得自由。清涼門下盡點頭。且道清涼說箇甚麼。大功不賞千古標榜。

The rice boat returned; ascending the hall: The boat has no bottom, the rice has no grains; piling into peaks and heaping into mountains, entering straight into the great waves. Returning like this, one attains freedom; beneath Qingliang's gate, everyone nods in approval. And tell me: What does Qingliang say? Great merit goes unrewarded, setting a model for a thousand ages.
