禪關策進 1.49

1.49

評曰。此老千言萬語。只教人看話頭。做真實工夫。以期正悟。諄切透快。千載而下。如耳提面命。具存全書。自應遍覽。

Appraisal: This old master's myriad words and thousands of phrases merely instruct people to inspect the huatou and apply genuine effort, aiming for correct awakening. Earnest, penetrating, and brisk, even after a thousand years it is like giving instructions in person. It is fully preserved in his complete works, which should naturally be read thoroughly.
