1.87

Ascending the hall, [the Master said]: "Dead effort in the Nirvāṇa Hall— / A wind-rolled gourd floating on the water. / Opening the eye of study in such a way, / Śākya and Maitreya are his slaves. / If suddenly someone should step forth and say, 'How does that compare to: "Sleeping in spring, unaware of dawn, / Everywhere hearing the crying birds amid falling blossoms"?' / What then?" / Striking the meditation bench, he said: "I thought there was no one."
