註華嚴經題法界觀門頌 1.226

1.226

人有古今異，道無前後殊。此頌達唯心之旨，何必只在於前人哉。法燈云：「令我憶南泉。」目前實際，同道方知。夷門云：「休要問南泉。」截斷葛藤，自肯親切。然二師舉南泉因緣，花字頌中具引。且如夷門道只這是，旨意如何？為當是指上風送池蓮之詞？為復是奪人聲價也？若定當得出，便見句裏呈機劈面來，爍迦羅眼絕纖埃；苟或未明，只這之機顯理，頌中全然漏豆也。

People have ancient and modern differences; / the Dao has no distinction of before and after. This gāthā illustrates that once the purport of mind-only is realized, why must it depend only on earlier people? Fadeng said: 'It makes me think of Nanquan.' The actual limit right before one's eyes is known only to fellow travelers of the Way. Yimen said: 'Do not bother asking Nanquan.' Severing the entangling vines, one intimately consents to oneself. However, the two masters cited the story of Nanquan, and it is fully quoted in the gāthā on the word 'flower'. Now, as for Yimen saying 'it is just this', what is the meaning? Does it refer to the words above about the wind carrying rain and pond lotuses? Or does it seize the other's reputation? If you can determine it, you will straightaway see the dynamic presence presented within the phrase coming right at your face, with a vajra eye completely devoid of fine dust. If it is not yet clear, the dynamic of 'just this' revealing principle will completely leak out within the gāthā.
