瑞州洞山良价禪師語錄 1.86

1.86

僧問：「師尋常教學人行鳥道，未審，如何是鳥道？」師云：「不逢一人。」僧云：「如何行？」師云：「直須足下無私去。」僧云：「祇如行鳥道，莫便是本來面目否？」師云：「闍黎因甚顛倒？」僧云：「甚麼處是學人顛倒？」師云：「若不顛倒，因甚麼却認奴作郎？」僧云：「如何是本來面目？」師云：「不行鳥道。」（後，夾山會問僧：「甚處來？」僧云：「洞山來。」師云：「洞山有何言句示徒？」僧云：「尋常教學人三路學。」夾山云：「何者三路？」僧云：「玄路鳥道展手。」夾山云：「實有此語否？」僧云：「實有。」夾山云：「軌持千里鈔，林下道人悲。」浮山遠云：「不因黃葉落，焉知是一秋。」）

A monk asked, "The Master usually teaches students to travel the bird's path. I wonder, what is the bird's path?" The Master said, "Not encountering a single person." The monk said, "How does one travel it?" The Master said, "Underfoot must be completely selfless." The monk said, "As for traveling the bird's path, is that not one's original face?" The Master said, "Why is the ācārya upside down?" The monk said, "Where am I upside down?" The Master said, "If not upside down, why do you mistake a servant for the master?" The monk said, "What is the original face?" The Master said, "Not traveling the bird's path." (Later, Jiashan Shan asked a monk, "Where have you come from?" The monk said, "From Dongshan." Jiashan said, "What words and phrases does Dongshan give to instruct his disciples?" The monk said, "He usually teaches students to study the three paths." Jiashan said, "What are the three paths?" The monk said, "The profound path, the bird's path, and extending the hands." Jiashan said, "Are there truly these words?" The monk said, "There truly are." Jiashan said, "Holding a thousand miles of paper money, the person of the Way under the trees grieves." Fushan Yuan said, "Were it not for the yellow leaves falling, how would one know it is autumn?")
