示眾
Addressing the Assembly
示眾：「若會世間法，必要理事雙融；若參出世法，須人法兩忘，全不關理事，領個話頭，朝朝暮暮，主靜離人，久久工夫純熟，忽然打破疑團，頭頭顯露，物物明真，不用躊躇，直捷便道：『透脫羅籠，不存閑解。』」
To the assembly, he said: "If you wish to understand the ways of the world, you must blend principle and practice seamlessly. If you seek to transcend the world, you must let go of both self and phenomena entirely—without clinging to principle or practice. Just hold onto a single meditation topic, morning and night, remaining quiet and detached from others. With sustained effort over time, the knot of doubt will suddenly burst open, and everything will reveal itself clearly: every object, every moment, shows its true nature. At that point, without hesitation, you can say directly: 'Free from all traps and cages, no idle interpretations remain.'"
示眾：「日用事無別，一隻草鞋爛。前後兩半節，費了多少線。如何是爛底道理？雙頭驢兒三隻角，一寸龜毛重七斤。」
To the assembly, he said: "In daily life, there's nothing out of the ordinary—just one worn-out straw sandal. With its front and back halves, how much thread was wasted on it! What is the principle behind this worn-out state? A two-headed donkey has three horns, and an inch of turtle fur weighs seven pounds."
示眾：「一根枯樹靠閻浮，二人只穿一隻鞋。一齊穿，一齊脫，且道是何人語？」
