潭州寶蓋約禪師。僧問。寶蓋高高掛。其中事若何。請師言下旨。一句不消多。師曰。寶蓋掛空中。有路不曾通。儻求言下旨。便是有西東。

> Chan Master Yue of Baogai in Tanzhou. A monk asked:  
> "The precious canopy hangs high aloft;  
> What is the matter within it?  
> We request the Master's purport beneath the words;  
> One phrase does not need much."  
> The Master said:  
> "The precious canopy hangs in empty space;  
> There is a road that has never been traversed.  
> If you seek the purport beneath the words,  
> There is already east and west."
