神光慧可禅师翻山越岭来到嵩山少林寺，拜谒达摩祖师，要求开示，并请为入室弟子，达摩面壁静坐，不理不睬，神光于是在门外伫候，时值风雪漫天，过了很久，雪深及膝。
ZM Shen Guang Hui Ke travelled a mountainous route to Shaolin Temple at Song Shan to visit Patriarch Bodhidharma, attempting to seek teachings and be accepted as his student. Bodhidharma sitting quietly facing the wall and ignored him. Thus Shen Guang waiting outside. It was windy and snowing at that time, and after a long time, the snow was knee deep.
达摩看他确实求法虔诚，才开口问他：‘你久立雪中，所求何事？’
Bodhidharma seeing his sincerity in seeking dharma, started to ask SG:
What matter are you asking in waiting so long in the snow?
神光道：‘惟愿和尚开甘露门，广度群品。’
SG said: Hoping that reverend open sacred dew door, widespreadly succour all.
达摩说：‘诸佛无上妙道，旷劫精勤，难行能行，难忍能忍，尚不能至，汝公以轻心慢心，欲冀真乘，徒劳勤苦。’
Dharma said: All Buddhas have no special paths, through long periods of diligence, difficult to execute also can execute, difficult to bear or persevere also can bear, still cannot reach, you are using light and prideful heart, hoping for True Vehicle, wasting your effort and hardship only.
神光听此诲励，即以刀断臂在达摩座前。
Upon hearing these, SG felt remorse, immediately cut away one of his arm, there and then in front of Dharma's seat.
达摩说：‘诸佛求道为法忘形，你今断臂，求又何在？’
Dharma said: All Buddhas seeking Dao (Path) for Dharma forgetting Forms, what are you asking in severing your arm?
神光答道：‘弟子心未安，请祖师为我安心！’
SG answered: Student's heart is not at peace, seeking help from Master to set my heart at peace!
达摩喝道：‘把心拿来，我为你安！’
Dharma shouted: Bring your heart here, I will help you set it at peace!
神光愕然地说：‘我找不到心呀！’
A shocked SG said: I can't find my heart!
达摩微笑说道：‘我已经为你将心安好了。’
Dharma smile lightly saying: I already help set your heart at peace.
神光慧可于找不到处，而有一个转身入处，终于豁然大悟，
SG can't find the place, but just a turn around enter the place, finally reach realisation,
我们的烦恼本空，罪业本无自性，识心寂灭，没有妄想动念处，就是正觉，就是佛道。
Our suffering are originally Void or Empty, Sins also do not have Self Nature, Conscious heart silently disintegrated, no more places from which unwholesome thoughts initiate, that is True or Right Realisation, that is Buddha's Path.
如果能够保持一颗平实不乱的真心，佛性当下就会开显。
If can maintain a true heart that is stable, true/honest, not messed up, Buddha nature will appear at that moment.

The above story is a much recounted one.
Enjoy it and learn from it. :)
Heaven or Hell?
All Self created!
