答。還示渠教自省達即得。不是眼見耳聞意知之事。此箇真精妙明性。不同大虛木石。天生靈妙不思議。即自性佛法僧。若不悟。推求欲見。一毫亦不可得。但離前塵好醜。即是自家本心。若一毫不盡。與佛道者。無有是處。

Answer: "If you simply show him to make him reflect and realize it himself, then it is attained. It is not an affair of the eye seeing, the ear hearing, or the intellect knowing. This true, pure, wondrous, and luminous nature is not like the great void, wood, or stone; it is innately spiritual, wondrous, and inconceivable—namely, the Buddha, Dharma, and Saṅgha of one's own nature. If you do not awaken to it, but deduce and seek wanting to see it, not even a single hair of it can be attained. Merely depart from the pleasant and unpleasant of the dusts before you, and that is your own original mind. If even a single hair is not exhausted, to be with the Buddha path is impossible."
