5.34

越州東山國慶順宗禪師上堂。心生則種種法生。心滅則種種法滅。拈起拄杖曰。此箇是法。那箇是滅底心。若人道得許爾頂門上具眼。其或未然。雲暗不知天早晚。雪深難辯路高低。參。

Chan Master Shunzong of Guoqing at Dongshan in Yuezhou ascended the hall: "When mind arises, various phenomena arise; when mind ceases, various phenomena cease." Holding up his staff, he said, "This is phenomena; which is the ceased mind? If someone can say, I grant that you possess eyes on the crown of your head. If not yet so: the clouds are dark, not knowing whether the sky is early or late; the snow is deep, hard to tell whether the road is high or low. Attend!"
