2.37

靈光獨露處,純一更無雜。此頌心境重重本覺性一,可謂一香一花稱性而遍周沙界,一瞻一禮離相而恒對佛前。所以僧問洞山:「寒暑到來,如何迴避?」山云:「何不向無寒暑處去。」僧云:「如何是無寒暑處?」山云:「寒時寒殺闍梨,熱時熱殺闍梨。」雪竇云:「垂手還同萬仞崖,正偏何必要安排。既不安排,信手拈來。」都明此意也。

Where the spiritual radiance is singly revealed, / It is purely one without admixture.
This verse [means that] in the manifold layers of mind and object, the nature of original awakening is one: it can be said that a single incense and a single flower accord with the nature and pervade the realms as numerous as sands; a single gaze and a single bow are free from characteristics and constantly face the Buddha. Therefore a monk asked Dongshan: 'When cold and heat arrive, how should one avoid them?' Dongshan said: 'Why not go to the place where there is neither cold nor heat?' The monk said: 'What is the place where there is neither cold nor heat?' Dongshan said: 'When it is cold, it freezes the ācārya to death; when it is hot, it scorches the ācārya to death.' Xuedou said: 'Letting down the hands is just like a cliff of ten thousand fathoms; why must correct and biased be arranged? Since they are not arranged, take them up as the hand pleases.' All clarify this intention.
