5.8
Heaven covers and earth supports (Penetrating above and piercing below);
Lumped together, forged into a mass (Knives and axes cannot chop it open).
Pervading the dharmadhātu without boundary (In the ten directions there are no walls);
Dividing a neighbor to voidness without interior (The Buddha's eye cannot spy it).
Reaching the utmost of the mysterious and subtle (A good thing is not as good as nothing);
Who distinguishes facing towards or turning away? (No place to evade it).
Buddhas and patriarchs come to repay the debt of verbal karma (Too many words injure conduct);
Ask Old Teacher Wang of Nanquan (Avoiding Shanshan);
Everyone just eats a single stalk of vegetable (There are no other affairs to manage).
