撫州曹山本寂禪師語錄 2.54

2.54

"Coming from within the correct" is excessive; the whole body is exposed alone, the source of the ten thousand dharmas, without blame and without praise. "Arriving within the biased" is Zhongfu; following things without obstruction, a wooden boat hollow inside, freely penetrating and at ease. "The biased within the correct" is Xun; shattered pieces of empty space, everywhere completely penetrating, roots and dusts serene. "The correct within the biased" is Dui; the moon in the water and the image in the mirror originally have no arising and ceasing, how could they leave traces? "Attaining within the integrated" is double Li; the correct need not be empty, the biased need not be real, neither turning away nor facing toward. Moreover, it is said: When the mind's contrivance is obliterated and form and emptiness are forgotten, with nothing further hidden or concealed, the entire body revealed—this is called the biased within the correct. Mountains are mountains, waters are waters, with no one assigning names and no thing to compare—this is called the correct within the biased. Pure and naked, stark and clear, features grand and dignified, exhausting heaven and exhausting earth, solitary and honored without double—this is called coming from within the correct. Just like the Son of Heaven within the realm, not borrowing the decrees of Yu, Tang, Yao, or Shun; eyes seeing and ears hearing, ultimately never borrowing another's strength; ears not entering into sounds, sounds not blocking the ear-root, within it one just turns the body; within the dust not yet bearing a name—this is called reaching within the integrated. It is not mind, not realm, not phenomenon, not principle; from the beginning transcending name and description, naturally genuine and forgetting nature and marks—this is called attaining within the integrated.
