雲門匡真禪師廣錄 1.22

1.22

上堂云：「道即道了也。」時有僧出禮拜，欲伸問次，師拈拄杖便打云：「識什麼好惡，這一般打野榸漢，總似這箇僧，爭消得施主信施？惡業眾生總在這裏，覓什麼乾屎橛咬。」以拄杖一時趁下。問：「牛頭未見四祖時如何？」師云：「家家觀世音。」進云：「見後如何？」師云：「火裏蝍蟟吞大蟲。」問：「如何是禪？」師云：「拈却一字得麼。」問：「浮桑柯畔日輪未出時如何？」師云：「知。」問：「背楚投吳時如何？」師云：「面南看北斗。」問：「六國未寧時如何？」師云：「千里何明？」進云：「爭柰不明何？」師云：「賴遇適來道了。」問：「如何是本源？」師云：「受什人麼供養？」問：「如何是直截一路？」師云：「主山後。」進云：「謝師指示。」師云：「合取皮袋。」問：「曹溪的旨，請師垂示。」師云：「三十年後。」問：「密室玄宮時如何？」師云：「倒。」進云：「宮中事作麼生？」師云：「重。」問：「萬機吐不出時如何？」師云：「大眾不匿。」進云：「猶是學人疑處在。」師云：「語覆前機去。」問：「要急相應，唯言不二時如何？」師云：「對眾舉，大眾可不知。」進云：「如何承當？」師云：「驢年。」問：「一生積惡不知善，一生積善者不知惡，此意如何？」師云：「燭。」問：「遠遠投師，師意如何？」師云：「七九六十三。」進云：「學人近離衡州。」師喝云：「是爾草鞋跟斷。」僧云：「珍重。」師喝云：「靜處薩婆訶。」問：「如何是學人自己？」師云：「一佛二菩薩。」

Ascending the hall, he said: "To speak has already been spoken." Then a monk came forward, bowed, and was about to present a question, when the Master picked up his staff and struck him, saying: "What sense of good and bad do you have? This gang of tree-stump beaters are all like this monk—how could they deserve to consume the faithful offerings of patrons? Evil-karma sentient beings are all gathered here; what dry piece of excrement are you looking to chew on?" With his staff, he chased them all down at once. He asked, "What about before Niutou met the Fourth Patriarch?" The Master said, "Avalokiteśvara in every household." He advanced and asked, "What about after he met him?" The Master said, "In the fire, a cicada swallows a tiger." He asked, "What is Chan?" The Master said, "Could you take away one character?" He asked, "What about when the sun wheel has not yet risen from the branches of the Fusang tree?" The Master said, "Known." He asked, "What about when turning one's back on Chu and casting oneself to Wu?" The Master said, "Facing south, look at the Northern Dipper." He asked, "What about when the six states are not yet at peace?" The Master said, "Over a thousand li, what is bright?" He advanced and asked, "What can be done about it not being bright?" The Master said, "Fortunately, it was already spoken just now." He asked, "What is the fundamental source?" The Master said, "Whose offerings do you receive?" He asked, "What is the direct, shortcut road?" The Master said, "Behind the main mountain." He advanced and asked, "Thank you, Master, for your instruction." The Master said, "Shut your skin bag!" He asked, "The definitive intent of Caoxi—please, Master, give instruction." The Master said, "After thirty years." He asked, "What about at the secret room and mysterious palace?" The Master said, "Topple." He advanced and asked, "What about the affairs in the palace?" The Master said, "Heavy." He asked, "What about when the myriad functions cannot be spat out?" The Master said, "The great assembly does not conceal it." He advanced and asked, "This is still where the student doubts." The Master said, "The words cover over the previous function." He asked, "When wishing for immediate resonance, and only saying 'not two'—how is it?" The Master said, "Raise it before the assembly; could the great assembly not know?" He advanced and asked, "How to undertake it?" The Master said, "In the year of the donkey." He asked, "One who accumulates evil all his life does not know good; one who accumulates good all his life does not know evil. What is the meaning of this?" The Master said, "Candle." He asked, "Coming from afar to turn to the Master, what is the Master's intention?" The Master said, "Seven times nine is sixty-three." He advanced and asked, "The student recently left Hengzhou." The Master shouted and said, "Your straw sandal heels are broken!" The monk said, "Take care." The Master shouted and said, "Svāhā in a quiet place!" He asked, "What is the student's self?" The Master said, "One Buddha, two bodhisattvas."
