師云：「汝等既為生死學道，須當憤發其志。志若不堅，久之便打退鼓，虛度歲月，有何益哉？然憤志非偶，不是說了便罷，必要立箇死限，方有少分相應，自覺覺人，自利利他，互相砥礪，發明此事。昔佛燈封被，哲侍者圓枕，慈明引錐，白雲危坐，從上古人皆如此操履，所以光明碩大，照耀無窮。或有先慧後定，先定後慧，或定慧等持，悟解雖圓，亦當修證。若悟而不修，有花無果；修而不悟，有果無花。只教果因一徹，悟解雙圓，如此用心，何愁不到古人田地？今烽煙之後聚此，滿堂龍象，和氣藹然，期會難遇，若不精誠憤志，更待何日？雖然，雪後始知松柏操，事難方見丈夫心。」
開示：「此事貴在勇猛。若猶豫，便不得力。所謂暫時不在，如同死人，不落妄想，便是無記。如在雲霧度日，毫不精爽。必須剔起眉毛，直下覷破，猛猛省省，不顧危亡，晝夜無間，前去不得，後去不得，從斯起大疑情，自然徹去。珍重。」
Instruction: "This matter depends on courage and determination. If you hesitate, you won't gain any power. As it's said, being absent even for a moment is like being dead. If you don't fall into deluded thoughts, you'll fall into blank oblivion—like passing days in a fog, without any clarity. You must raise your eyebrows, see through it right now, stay alert and awake, heedless of danger or death. Practice without pause day and night. When you can't go forward and can't go back, a great doubt will arise from this state, and naturally you'll penetrate through. Take good care."
開示：「參禪最忌落在無事甲裏做活計，縱參到頭白齒黃，也沒交涉。諸兄珍重好教，所謂虛妄浮心，多諸巧見。從上諸祖，不傳別法，直指人心，見性成佛。若不識取本心，更向外求，於妄心中復生妄境，如虛空華，無復結果，縱經塵劫，亦不能成就。須向二六時中，舉足動步，迴光返照，歸在一處，討箇分曉，始知頭頭獨露，物物全彰，事事不周而自周，法法不融而自融，萬境不能浸，群魔不能入。雖然如是，不是一番寒徹骨，怎得梅華撲鼻香？」
