雲門匡真禪師廣錄 1.26

1.26

上堂云：「我看汝諸人，二三機中尚不能搆得，空披衲衣何益。爾還會麼？我為汝注破，久後到諸方，若見老宿舉一指、竪一拂子云是禪是道，拽拄杖打破頭便行。若不如此，盡落天魔眷屬，壞滅吾宗。汝若實不會，且向葛藤社裏看。我尋常向汝道，微塵剎土中三世諸佛、西天二十八祖、唐土六祖，盡在拄杖頭說法，神通變現，聲應十方，一任縱橫。爾還會麼？若不會，且莫掠虛。雖然如此，且諦當實見也未？直饒到此田地，也未夢見衲僧沙彌在。三家村裏不逢一人。」師驀拈拄杖劃地一下云：「總在這裏。」又劃一下云：「總從這裏出去也。珍重。」問：「古人面壁意旨如何？」師云：「念七。」又云：「定。」問：「百不會底人來，師如何接？」師云：「話墮也。」進云：「什麼處是話墮？」師云：「七棒對十三。」問：「承古有言：了即業障本來空，未了還須償宿債。未審二祖是了未了？」師云：「確。」問：「從上古德相傳何事？」師云：「速禮三拜。」問：「如何是雲門一路？」師云：「親。」進云：「如何即是。」師云：「顛言倒語作麼？」問：「承古有言：擬心即差。如何得不差？」師云：「洪機歷掌。」進云：「後人再問作麼生？」師云：「遲風難改。」問：「三身中阿那身說法？」師云：「要。」問：「如何是釋迦身？」師云：「乾屎橛。」問：「請師提綱宗門？」師云：「南有雪峯，北有趙州。」問：「大徹底人見一切法是空不？」師云：「蘇嚕蘇嚕。」問：「終日切切不得箇入路，乞師指箇入路？」師云：「當機有路。」問：「如何是超佛越祖之談？」師云：「蒲州麻黃，益州附子。」問：「如何是教意？」師云：「撩起來作麼生道？」進云：「便請師道。」師云：「對牛彈琴。」問：「玄機一路如何體會？」師云：「三十年後。」問：「槨示雙趺，當表何事？」師云：「言。」進云：「未審師意如何？」師云：「緊帩草鞋。」問：「不是玄機亦非目擊時如何？」師云：「倒一說。」問：「劫火洞然時如何？」師云：「更夢見什麼？」

Ascending the hall, he said: "As I see you people, you cannot even grasp things within two or three turning points; what benefit is there in vainly wearing the patch-robed cowl? Do you still understand? I will puncture it for you: later on, when you go to various regions, if you see an old master raise a finger or erect a whisk, saying, 'This is Chan, this is the Way,' snatch his staff, smash his head with it, and just walk away! If you do not do so, all of you will fall into the retinue of the heavenly Māra and destroy my lineage. If you really do not understand, for now look into the entanglement society. I have constantly told you that all the buddhas of the three periods of time throughout the lands of fine dust, the twenty-eight patriarchs of the Western Heavens, and the six patriarchs of the Tang land are entirely expounding the Dharma on the tip of a staff, manifesting spiritual transformations, their voices echoing through the ten directions, completely unrestrained. Do you still understand? If you do not understand, do not seize on illusions for now. Even though it is like this, have you truly and properly seen it yet? Even if you arrive at such a ground, you have not yet dreamed of a patch-robed monk's novice. In a three-family village, you will not encounter a single person." The Master abruptly took up his staff, drew a line on the ground with it, and said: "All are right here." He drew another line and said: "All have gone out from right here. Take care!" A monk asked: "What was the ancient's intention in facing the wall?" The Master said: "Recite seven." He also said: "Samādhi." A monk asked: "When a person comes who does not understand a single thing, how does the Master receive him?" The Master said: "A lapse of speech." The monk advanced and asked: "Where was the lapse of speech?" The Master said: "Seven blows of the staff counter thirteen." A monk asked: "I have received an ancient's saying: 'If one has realized, karmic obstacles are fundamentally empty; if one has not realized, one must still repay past debts.' I wonder, did the Second Patriarch realize or not realize?" The Master said: "Certainly." A monk asked: "What matter was transmitted between the ancient masters of the past?" The Master said: "Quickly make three prostrations." A monk asked: "What is the one path of Yunmen?" The Master said: "Intimate." The monk advanced and asked: "How is it so?" The Master said: "Why speak upside down and backwards?" A monk asked: "I have received an ancient's saying: 'Intending the mind is already an error.' How can one not make an error?" The Master said: "A vast mechanism evident in the palm." The monk advanced and asked: "When a later person asks again, how will it be?" The Master said: "A lingering wind is hard to alter." A monk asked: "Among the three bodies, which body expounds the Dharma?" The Master said: "Essential." A monk asked: "What is the body of Śākya?" The Master said: "A dried shit-stick." A monk asked: "We invite the Master to raise the essentials of the ancestral school." The Master said: "In the south there is Xuefeng; in the north there is Zhaozhou." A monk asked: "Does a person of great and thorough penetration see that all phenomena are empty or not?" The Master said: "Suru suru." A monk asked: "All day long I am deeply earnest but cannot find an entryway; I beg the Master to point out an entryway." The Master said: "Right in the turning point there is a path." A monk asked: "What is the talk that transcends buddhas and surpasses patriarchs?" The Master said: "Ephedra of Puzhou, aconite of Yizhou." A monk asked: "What is the meaning of the teachings?" The Master said: "Raise it up; what will you say?" The monk advanced and asked: "Please, Master, speak." The Master said: "Playing the zither to a cow." A monk asked: "How does one apprehend the one path of mysterious mechanism?" The Master said: "Thirty years later." A monk asked: "When the two feet were displayed from the coffin, what was this meant to express?" The Master said: "Words." The monk advanced and asked: "I wonder, what is the Master's meaning?" The Master said: "Tie your straw sandals tight." A monk asked: "When it is neither the mysterious mechanism nor a direct encounter, how is it?" The Master said: "Inverted, a single word." A monk asked: "When the kalpa-fire burns fiercely, how is it?" The Master said: "What else do you dream of seeing?"
