Dahui's Real Original, the First Shobogenzo:
441 . When master Nanyue Rang first called on the sixth patriarch, the patriarch asked, “Where have you come from?”
Nanyue said, “From Mount Song.”
The patriarch said, “What thing has come this way?” He said, “To speak of it as a thing would not be accurate.”
The patriarch said, “Does it take cultivation and realization?” He said, “It’s not that there is no cultivation or realization, but if defiled it can’t be successful.”
The patriarch said, “It is just this nondefilement that the Buddhas keep in mind. You are now like this; I too am like this.”
.
(Welcome link) (ewkwho?) note: If it is defiled it can't be successful... how can it be defiled?
