師示眾云。函蓋乾坤。目機銖兩。不涉萬緣。作麼生承當。眾無對。自代云。一鏃破三關。後來德山圓明密禪師。遂離其語為三句。曰函蓋乾坤句。截斷眾流句。隨波逐浪句（圓悟曰。本真本空。一色一味。非無妙體。不在躊躇。洞然明白。則函蓋乾坤也。又云。本非解會。排疊將來。不消一字。萬機頓息。則截斷眾流也。又云。若許他相見。從苗辦地。因語識人。即隨波逐浪也）。

> The master addressed the assembly, saying: "Encompassing heaven and earth; discerning the dynamic by ounces and drams; not involving the myriad conditions—how do you undertake this?" The assembly had no answer. He answered on their behalf, saying: "A single arrowhead shatters three barriers." Later, Chan Master Deshan Yuanming Mi separated his words into three phrases, calling them: the phrase that encompasses heaven and earth, the phrase that cuts off all streams, and the phrase that follows the waves and pursues the billows. (Yuanwu said: "Originally true and originally empty, of one color and one taste, not lacking a wondrous substance, not requiring hesitation, thoroughly clear—this is encompassing heaven and earth." He also said: "Originally not understood through conceptual thought; when arranged and brought forward, it does not expend a single word, and the myriad workings instantly cease—this is cutting off all streams." He also said: "If allowing him to meet face-to-face, discerning the soil from the sprout, recognizing the person through words—this is following the waves and pursuing the billows.")
