經云。止止不須說我法妙難思。安晚曰。法從何來。妙從何有。說時又作麼生。豈但豐干饒舌。元是釋迦多口。這老子造作妖怪。令千百代兒孫被葛藤纏倒。未得頭出。似這般奇特話靶。匙挑不上。甑蒸不熟。有多少錯認底。傍人問云。畢竟作如何結斷。安晚合十指爪曰。止止不須說我法妙難思。却急去難思兩字上。打箇小圓相子。指示眾人。大藏五千卷。維摩不二門。總在裏許。

The sūtra says: 'Stop, stop, no need to speak! My Dharma is wondrous and hard to conceive.' Anwan says: 'Where does the Dharma come from? Where does the wondrous arise? When spoken, what is it like? Not only was Fenggan loose-tongued, but Śākya was originally talkative. This old fellow conjured up bizarre monsters, making his descendants for thousands of generations get tangled up and fall, unable to poke their heads out. Like this extraordinary topic of conversation, it cannot be picked up with a spoon, nor steamed cooked in a cauldron. How many have mistakenly recognized it?' A bystander asked, 'Ultimately, how do you bring it to a conclusion?' Anwan clasped his ten fingernails and said, 'Stop, stop, no need to speak! My Dharma is wondrous and hard to conceive.' Then, quickly over the two words 'hard to conceive', he drew a small circle and pointed it out to everyone: 'The five thousand scrolls of the Great Canon and Vimalakīrti's gate of non-duality are all inside here.'
