撫州曹山本寂禪師語錄 2.49

2.49

云：「如何是類？」余曰：「被毛戴角。」云：「如何是異？」余曰：「作麼作麼？」云：「如何是行？」余曰：「要頭則斫將去。」（云：「只如異類，成得箇甚麼邊事？」余曰：「此事有二種異類：一者沙門異類，二者事上異類。事上異類者，狸奴白牯是也。沙門異類者，觸處得自由，始得不變易，不同那箇。先師問余：『甚麼處去？』余曰：『不變易處去。』此不變易事有二種，一者人人盡有本分事；二者知有底人，不捨一切聲色是非，於一切物物上不滯，呼為一切處不易，亦喚作被毛戴角，亦喚作入泥入水，亦喚作行李底漢。」）

He said, "What is 'kind'?" I said, "Wearing fur and bearing horns." He said, "What is 'different'?" I said, "What? What?" He said, "What is practice?" I said, "If you want my head, take and chop it off." (He said, "Just as with 'different kinds', what side of the matter does it accomplish?" I said, "This matter has two sorts of different kinds: first, the śramaṇa's different kinds; second, the different kinds in phenomenal events. The different kinds in phenomenal events are the tawny cats and white oxen. The śramaṇa's different kinds are attaining freedom wherever one touches; only then is there unalterability, unlike that other. The late master asked me, 'Where are you going?' I said, 'Going to the unalterable place.' This unalterable matter has two sorts: first, every single person completely possesses the fundamental matter; second, a person who knows existence does not abandon any sounds, forms, right, or wrong, and is not obstructed by any thing whatsoever—this is called unalterable in all places, also called wearing fur and bearing horns, also called entering mud and entering water, and also called a fellow who carries out practice.")
