The cardinal tenet of Yunmen cuts off all streams; it brooks no deliberation. Ordinary and holy find no road; conceptual understanding cannot pass. A monk asked, "What is the bellow of the mud ox on the snowy peak?" The master said, "Heaven and earth are pitch-black." "What is the neigh of Yunmen's wooden horse?" He said, "Mountains and rivers flee." "What is the student's own self?" He said, "Roaming mountains and enjoying waters." He asked, "When dynamic encounters are exhausted, what then?" He said, "Bring me the Buddha hall, and I will discuss it with you." "What is the phrase that penetrates the Dharmakāya?" He said, "Hiding one's body within the Northern Dipper." "What is the special transmission outside the teachings?" He said, "Ask in front of the assembly." Generally speaking, the style of the Yunmen lineage is solitary, precarious, towering, and steep, hard for people to approach. Unless one possesses supreme faculties, who could glimpse even its semblance? Examining Yunmen's phrases, although they have the dynamic of cutting off the flow, they have no intention of following the waves. Though the Dharma gates differ, their principle returns to a single oneness. Do you wish to see Yunmen? The staff leaps up to heaven; within the small cup, the Buddhas expound the Dharma.
