佛果圜悟禪師碧巖錄 5.1

5.1

The pointer says: Where right and wrong intertwine, even a sage cannot know; when going with and against in every direction, even a Buddha cannot distinguish. Acting as a person who surpasses the world and transcends the ordinary, one manifests the ability of a great being who outstrips the multitude. Walking on thin ice, treading on the edge of a sword, directly appearing like the horn of a qilin or a lotus flower within fire. Only upon clearly witnessing one who transcends the ordinary sphere does one recognize a fellow traveler on the Path. Who is an adept? Try to bring it up and see.
