洪州武寧嚴陽新興齊禪師。僧問。如何得出三界去。師曰。汝還信麼。曰信即深信乞和尚慈悲。師曰。只此信心亘古亘今。快須究取何必沈吟。要出三界三界唯心。師因雪謂眾曰。諸上座還見雪麼。見即有眼。不見無眼。有眼即常。無眼即斷。恁麼會得佛身充滿。僧問。學人辭去泐潭。乞和尚示箇入路。師曰。好箇入路。道心堅固。隨眾參請。隨眾作務。要去即去。要住即住。去之與住更無他故。若到泐潭不審馬祖。

> Chan Master Qixin of Yanyang in Wuning, Hongzhou. A monk asked, "How does one escape the three realms?" The master said, "Do you still have faith?" The monk said, "I have deep faith; I beg for the Upādhyāya's compassion." The master said: / "Just this faithful mind spans antiquity and the present; / Quickly you must investigate it, why hesitate in thought? / If you wish to escape the three realms, the three realms are mind only." / On account of snow, the master addressed the assembly, saying: "Sthaviras, do you still see the snow? If you see it, you have eyes; if you do not see it, you have no eyes. Having eyes is eternalism; having no eyes is annihilationism. Understanding in this way, the Buddha body is all-pervading." A monk asked, "This student is taking leave to go to Letan. I beg the Upādhyāya to show me a path of entry." The master said: / "A fine path of entry: / The mind of the Way is firm and solid. / Follow the assembly in asking for instruction, / Follow the assembly in manual labor. / If you want to go, then go; / If you want to stay, then stay. / Between going and staying, / There is no other reason. / When you arrive at Letan, / Pay my respects to Mazu."
