佛果圜悟禪師碧巖錄 1.17

1.17

The pointer says: One dynamic function, one circumstance; one word, one phrase: temporarily intended to provide an entrance, gouging a wound in healthy flesh, forming nests and burrows. When the great function manifests before us, it does not keep to rules and regulations: temporarily intended to let you know there is the transcendent matter, covering heaven and covering earth, yet impossible to grope for. To be like this is acceptable, and not to be like this is acceptable—too fussy! To be like this is not acceptable, and not to be like this is not acceptable—too solitary and precipitous! Without getting involved in these two paths, what is right? Please test and bring it up to see.
