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."
