Chan Master Zhiqiu of Liutong Cloister in Taizhou. A monk asked, "What is it like when one wears a sword over the entire body?" The Master said, "Falling." The monk said, "What of the one who meets it?" The Master said, "Scorching heaven and roasting earth." The monk asked, "What is the environment of Liutong?" The Master said, "Rivers and mountains filling the gaze—look as you please." The monk said, "What is the person within the environment?" The Master said, "From antiquity to the present, coming and going of themselves." The monk said, "Leaving aside the two paths, is there still the transcendental matter or not?" The Master said, "There is." The monk said, "What is the transcendental matter?" The Master said, "Clouds and waters—a thousand followers and ten thousand followers." The monk asked, "The robe-wearing followers of the profound ask the Master for instruction." The Master said, "The red furnace does not fall at Yanmen Pass." The monk said, "What is the red furnace not falling at Yanmen Pass?" The Master said, "How could the blue sky begrudge people scaling it?" The monk said, "Is there still one who does not know or not?" The Master said, "There is." The monk said, "Who is the one who does not know?" The Master said, "Having no name on the golden placard." The monk asked, "What is the Upādhyāya's house style?" The Master said, "Over ten thousand households the bright moon shines clear." The monk asked, "What is the second moon?" The Master said, "Mountains, rivers, and the great earth."
