皮殼漏子 [pi ke lou zi]—(píkè lòuzi) — [Metaphor] Also written as 皮可漏子 [pi ke lou zi] (píkě lòuzi). 殼 [ke] (kè) and 可 [ke] (kě) are phonetically interchangeable (音通 [yin tong]). 殼 [ke] (kè) refers to an eggshell (卵殼 [luan ke]), which is compared to the human body (身骸 [shen hai]). 漏 [lou] (lòu) refers to leaking feces and urine (屎尿 [shi niao]). It signifies a state of natural freedom and spontaneity (任運自在 [ren yun zi zai]). Additionally, a letter bag (書柬袋 [shu jian dai]) is also called 可漏子 [ke lou zi] or 殼漏子 [ke lou zi]. The Yuanwu Lu (圓悟錄 [yuan wu lu]), Thirteenth Universal Sermon, says: "When practicing, one must practice 'Pike Louzi Zen' (皮可漏子禪 [pi ke lou zi chan])." The Blue Cliff Record (碧嚴錄 [bi yan lu]), Chapter Ten, says: "Just practice 'Pi Louzi Zen' (皮漏子禪 [pi lou zi chan])."
皮殼漏子—【譬喻】又作皮可漏子。殼可音通。殼者卵[穀-禾+卵]也，比人之身骸，漏者漏屎尿也。意味任運自在。又書柬袋曰可漏子，或殼漏子。圓悟錄十三普說曰：「參時須參皮可漏子禪。」碧嚴錄十曰：「但參皮漏子禪。」
