無門關 1.50

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [1.50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2005.1.50)

無門曰。縱有懸河之辨。總用不著。說得一大藏教。亦用不著。若向者裏對得著。活却從前死路頭。死却從前活路頭。其或未然。直待當來。問彌勒。

> Wumen said: Even if you have eloquence like a torrent, it is of no use at all; even if you can explain the whole great canon of teachings, it is also of no use. If you can answer appropriately here, you will bring to life what was previously a dead end, and put to death what was previously a live path. If not yet, you must wait until the future to ask Maitreya.
