'Hengchuan said;
"With the sword of wisdom, we cut apart the net of defilement and craving. With the diamond hammer, we smash to pieces the nest of ignorance."
(Linji's teaching of) 'the true person without a position' (has become a cliche,) a dry piece of shit.
(Shakyamuni Buddha's phrase) 'the treasury of the Dharma-eye' (has become useless,) a broken bowl.
Clear-eyed patch-robed monks cannot distinguish them.'
