福州僊宗院明禪師。師上堂曰。幸有如是門風何不烜赫地紹續取去。若也紹得不在三界。若出三界即壞三界。若在三界即礙三界。不礙不壞是出三界。是不出三界。恁麼徹去堪為佛法種子人天有賴。有僧問。拏雲不假風雷便。迅浪如何透得身。師曰。何得棄本逐末。

> Chan Master Ming of Xianzong Monastery in Fuzhou. The Master went up to the hall and said, 'Fortunately, there is such a house style—why not gloriously continue and succeed it? If you succeed it, you are not in the three realms. If you transcend the three realms, you destroy the three realms. If you are in the three realms, you obstruct the three realms. Neither obstructing nor destroying: is this transcending the three realms, or is it not transcending the three realms? If you penetrate through like this, you are fit to be a seed of the Buddha-Dharma, on whom humans and devas rely.' A monk asked, 'Clasping the clouds does not depend on the convenience of wind and thunder; how can one penetrate the body through the rushing waves?' The Master said, 'Why abandon the root and chase after the branches?'
