蘄州石鼓洞珠禪師上堂曰。問答轉多去道轉遠。何也。道不屬知知而妄覺。道不屬見見是眼睛。眼睛不明觸事崢嶸。聯環不斷為生死根。若能直向太虛之外。自然情念頓忘真心直露。如斯說話俯為下根。道友相逢無可不可。坐則十方俱隱。行則六趣隨緣。語則出口成言。默則三災不撓。然雖如是。須知有轉身一路。眾中莫有轉得身者麼出來證據。若無山僧今日失利。

> Chan Master Dongzhu of Shigu in Qizhou ascended the hall and said, 'The more questions and answers there are, the further one is from the Way. Why? The Way does not pertain to knowing; knowing is false perception. The Way does not pertain to seeing; seeing is the eyes. When the eyes are not clear, encounters with things are precipitous and steep. Interlinked rings unbroken are the root of birth and death. If you can go directly beyond the Great Void, naturally emotional thoughts are suddenly forgotten, and the true mind is directly exposed. Such talk as this is condescending for those of lower capacities. When companions of the Way meet, nothing is impermissible: sitting, the ten directions are entirely hidden; walking, one accords with conditions in the six destinies; speaking, speech issues from the mouth; silent, the three disasters do not disturb. Although it is like this, you must know that there is a path of turning the body. In the assembly, is there anyone who can turn the body? Come forward to bear witness! If not, this mountain monk suffers a defeat today.'
