Ummons Light case 86 in the blue cliff record
#1
Instruction: He has the world firmly in his grasp without a hairsbreadth of space. 
He
cuts off the myriad streams, leaving not a drop. 
If you open your mouth it is
already an error. 
A split-second's thought and it is already different (from the
truth). 
Just tell me. 
What is the eye which has passed the barrier? 
To test I am
citing this. 
Look! 

Case: 
Unmon imparted some words saying, "In everyone there is a light. 
When
you look for it, you cannot see it; it is very dark and dim. 
What is everyone's
light? 
He answered himself, "The kitchen, the gate." 
He also said, "A good thing is
not the same as nothing." 

Verse: 
Shining on its own, the solitary light in a row. 
I open up a single way for you. 
The flowers fall; the tree has no shadow. 
When seeing, who does not see?
Seeing, not seeing. 
Riding backwards on the bull and entering the Buddha hall.
