### 答李維谷居士

天篤談心喻指月，指頭非月月生明。若將暗者為明月，依舊從前汩死生。

> The heavenly dharma is likened to a finger pointing at the moon. The finger is not the moon; the moon itself shines with its own light. If you mistake the pointing finger for the moon itself, you will remain stuck in confusion, endlessly caught in the cycle of death and rebirth.
