佛果圜悟禪師碧巖錄 8.32

8.32

"Questions about transcendent talk are especially numerous among Chan guests—(Each one comes out and holds such a view; like hemp, like millet.) / Can you see the cracks and seams splitting apart? (Already prior to words. It opens! He does not smell his own shit.) / The sesame cake crammed in, he still does not stop; (Exchanging your eyes for soapberries!) / To this day there is confusion throughout the world." (Drawing a circle, he says, "Could it be understood like this? Gnawing on others' words—when will there ever be an end to it? The vast earth stretches endlessly, grieving one to death!" Then he strikes.) / Crammed (pronounced zhù; meaning to plug or stuff).
