臨濟正宗　內翰趙孟頫。奉勅撰碑記。其略曰。佛以大智慧破一切有。以大圓覺攝一切空。以大慈悲度一切眾。始於不言而至於無所不言。無所不言。而至於無言。夫道非言不傳。傳而不以言。則道在言語之外矣。是惟佛法最上上乘。如以薪傳火。薪盡火傳不窮。

> Orthodox Lineage of the Linji School: Zhao Mengfu of the Inner Hanlin, by imperial order, composed a stele inscription, an excerpt of which states: 'With great wisdom, the Buddha shatters all existence; with great perfect awakening, he encompasses all emptiness; with great compassion, he delivers all multitudes. Beginning with no words, he arrives at leaving nothing unsaid; leaving nothing unsaid, he arrives at no words. Now, the Way is not transmitted without words, yet if it is transmitted without words, then the Way lies beyond words. This alone is the highest supreme vehicle of the Buddha's Dharma: like transmitting fire with firewood, though the firewood is consumed, the fire is transmitted without end.'
