撫州曹山元證禪師語錄 1.128

1.128

師曰：「謂然燈前有二種：一未知有，同於類血之乳；二知有，猶如意未萌時得本物，此名然燈前。一種知有，往來言語聲色是非，亦不屬正照用，亦不得記，同類血之乳，是漏失邊事，此名然燈後，直是三際事盡，表裏情忘，得無間斷，此始得名正然燈，乃云得記。」

The Master said: "There are two kinds before Dīpaṃkara: first, not yet knowing the existence of It, which is like milk akin to blood; second, knowing the existence of It, which is like obtaining the original thing before the intention sprouts—these are named 'before Dīpaṃkara'. One kind is knowing the existence of It: coming and going in speech, sounds, sights, right, and wrong, neither belonging to correct illumination and functioning nor receiving vyākaraṇa, akin to milk that is blood; this is a matter on the side of leaking and losing, and is named 'after Dīpaṃkara'. Only when the matters of the three periods of time are exhausted, feelings of inside and outside are forgotten, and one attains being without interruption, is it only then named 'exactly during Dīpaṃkara'; then it is called 'receiving vyākaraṇa'."
