【無門曰】
大凡參禪學道。切忌隨聲逐色。縱使聞聲悟道見色明心。也是尋常。殊不知。衲僧家騎聲蓋色。頭頭上明。著著上妙。然雖如是且道。聲來耳畔。耳往聲邊。直饒響寂雙忘。到此如何話會。若將耳聽應難會。眼處聞聲方始親。

會則事同一家
不會萬別千差
不會事同一家
會則萬別千差
會則事同一家

不會事同一家
會則萬別千差
Unmon said, “The world is vast and wide like this. Why do we put on our seven-panel robe at the sound of the bell?”
Wumen’s Comment
Generally speaking, in practicing and studying Zen, it is most detestable to follow sounds and pursue colors. Even though you may become enlightened through hearing sounds and come to realize mind by seeing colors, that is the ordinary way of things. People do not know that for real Zen monks, when they are riding on sounds and becoming one with colors, everything is clear, moment by moment,everything is full of wonder, action after action. When you hear a sound, however, just tell me, does the sound come to the ear or the ear go to the sound? Even though you have extinguished both sound and silence, what will you realize here? If you hear with the ear, you cannot realize it. When you hear with the eye, for the first time it will become intimate.
Wumen’s Verse
With realization, all things are of one family,
Without realization, everything is separate and different;
Without realization, all things are of one family,
With realization, everything is separate and different.
