### 示尼性空

> Demonstrating the Emptiness of Nature

出家為尼，務要形端影直，既是千不能、萬不能，正好靜地裏討箇分曉，看是阿誰。行住坐臥中畢竟是誰主張？忽地看破，始信師姑原是女人做。

> To become a nun and leave home, you must ensure that your form is upright and your shadow is straight. Since you can do neither a thousand nor ten thousand things, it is precisely in stillness that you should seek clarity—observe who it is. In walking, standing, sitting, and lying down, who is ultimately in charge? If suddenly you see through this, only then will you believe that a nun was originally made by a woman.
