今日的學子不細心研習祖師的公案，如兒童玩球一般。他們認為悟道容易，只要說「我瞭解了」，但是老禪師用法劍斷然地糾正他們。所有祖師用相同的方法，由功行而光耀了佛的教導，這是祖師的精神。
「功行佛祖的話頭是悟道的真正本性，亦即是佛。」
Today's students deal with patriarchal Kong-ans carelessly as if they were children playing with a ball, with the idea that awakening is easy, merely saying, "understood it."
But the old Master, using his dharma sword, destroyed them mercilessly, which is the same way that all the patriarchs have brightened Buddha's Teaching by re-examination. That is the patriarchal spirit.
Re-examining the Hwa-do of Buddhas and Patriarchs is the true nature of enlightenment, i.e.,Buddha-as-it-is.
為何被稱為「惡人」？
因為對佛法的不信任；
為什麼一個人會受到地獄的痛苦？
因為他不遵循善知識的話；
什麼是麻煩？
讓內心起了念頭。
Why is it called bad?
Because of not believing in the dharma.
Why does one receive the sufferings of hell?
Because of not following the word of the Good-and-Wise Ones.
What is the trouble?
Letting thought arise in the mind.
六祖惠能曾說－
見性是功（見到自性是功行的功效）
平等是德（平靜鎮定是見性的傑出處）
他亦曾頌過一首偈子－
功行佛祖之語是如來的見性本心
若能鑽木出火 淤泥定生紅蓮
The Patriarch once sang a Gatha:
Since re-examining the Buddha-Patriarchs' words is
The Tathagata's enlightening mind -as-it-is,
If fire can emerge by rubbing sticks,
Red lotus will definitely bloom in the mud.
