Chan Master Haiyin Wenqing of Yunju in Nankang Commandery. A monk asked, "What is the phrase that covers heaven and earth?" The Master said, "Fitting together." The monk said, "What is the phrase that follows the waves and pursues the currents?" The Master said, "Vast." The monk said, "What is the phrase that cuts off all streams?" The Master said, "Narrow." Ascending the hall: "The Way is fundamentally non-action; Dharma is neither protracted nor brief. Ten thousand years in a single thought; thousands of ages present before the eyes. The moon is bright, the wind calm; the mountains green, the waters emerald. Each and every phenomenon appears before us; thing after thing is completely furnished. The ancestral meaning and doctrinal meaning are neither straight nor crooked. If you wish to know the price of rice in Luling, understand that the wheat before the mountain has ripened." Striking the meditation couch with his fly-whisk, he stepped down from his seat.
