(DaHui's Treasury of the Eye of True Teaching: Vol. 1; T. Cleary)
358
Master YunJu Ying said to an assembly:
Those who attain aren’t flippant, those who understand don’t act meanly.
Those who know don’t bemoan, those who understand have no contempt.
What comes down from heaven is poverty, what springs up from the earth is wealth.
Establishing oneself within the school is easy; leaving the school within oneself is hard.
Move, and you bury yourself ten thousand feet deep; don’t move, and you produce sprouts where you are.
Transcend to freedom at a single saying, and you stand out alone in your time.
Speech should not be much; if there’s a lot, it has no use.
I think these are good words, but I think with the last line YunJu said too much.
