如淨和尚語錄 1.46

1.46

Ascending the hall on burning shaven hair: Directly shaving the hair behind the skulls of the herd of cattle; blown by wind and scorched by sun, it turns increasingly rank and foul. Unbearable mess polluting heaven and earth; sins and transgressions are deeply burned by karmic fire. If seen thus, by all means avoid searching for relics in dead ashes; the foul-smelling smoke billows as the flame tips rise high.
