### [2.101](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2006.2.101)

汝州風穴和尚示眾云。夫參學眼目。臨機直須大用現前。莫自拘於小節。設使言前薦得。猶是滯殼迷封。縱饒句下精通。未免觸途狂見。勸汝諸人。應是從前依他作解。明昧兩岐。凡聖疑情。一時掃却。直教箇箇如師子兒哮吼一聲。壁立萬仞。誰敢正眼覷著。覷著則瞎却渠眼（古德著語云。一句曲含千古韻。萬重雲散月來初。垂絲千尺意在深潭）。

> Venerable Fengxue of Ruzhou addressed the assembly, saying: 'Those with the eye of study, when confronting the occasion, must directly allow the great function to appear before them; do not confine yourselves to petty details. Even if you understand before words are spoken, you are still bogged down in husks and deluded by wrappings. Even if you are thoroughly versed beneath phrases, you will not avoid wild views along the way. I urge all of you: whatever understanding you relied on others to form in the past, with its dual forks of bright and dark and doubtful feelings about ordinary and sage—sweep it all away at once! Make each of you roar like a lion cub! Stand like a cliff ten thousand fathoms high—who would dare look at it straight on? To look at it straight on is to be blinded!' (An ancient master commented: "A single phrase subtly contains the tune of a thousand ages; the myriad layers of clouds scatter when the moon first rises. Letting down a line of a thousand feet, the intention lies in the deep pool.")
