越州洞巖可休禪師。問如何是洞巖正主。師曰。開著。問如何是和尚親切為人處。師曰。大海不宿屍。問如何是向上一路。師舉衣領示之。問學人遠來請師方便。師曰。方便了也。

> Chan Master Kexiu of Dongyan in Yuezhou. A monk asked, 'Who is the true master of Dongyan?' The master said, 'Keep it open.' He asked, 'What is the upādhyāya's intimate way of helping people?' The master said, 'The great ocean does not harbor a corpse.' He asked, 'What is the transcendental path?' The master lifted his collar and showed it to him. He asked, 'This student has come from afar; please, Master, show me skillful means.' The master said, 'I have already shown skillful means.'
