宗門一著子。惟貴眼正。殺活之機。如舟放狂浪中。縱橫自在。又如獅子王食獸。了無剩肉。若也悟處不真。入處不正。未免傷風犯手。得不畏乎。法舟和尚。向磬聲邊。摸得些子。如龍得水。便興波作浪。活卓無依。應機撇脫。猶春風之在花柳。轉見新鮮。彼時雙髻峰。安頓何國土中。不識曾見此老一面否。

The Recorded Sayings of Chan Master Nan Shi Wenxiu was compiled by his disciples Zong Mi, Miao Men, Fu Chu, Ting Can, and Liang Di. Chan Master Wenxiu was a prominent monk of the Linji school during the early Ming Dynasty, who inherited and propagated the essential teachings of Chan. This collection includes his discourses, Dharma talks, dialogues with students, and poetic verses, covering the core principles of Chan, practical guidance for cultivation, and everyday teachings. It reflects the Linji school’s direct approach to pointing at the mind and realizing one’s inherent Buddha-nature.
