袁州仰山慧寂禪師語錄 1.23

1.23

溈山餧鵶生飯，回頭見師，云：「今日為伊上堂一上。」師云：「某甲隨例得聞。」溈山云：「聞底事作麼生？」師云：「鵶作鵶鳴，鵲作鵲噪。」溈山云：「爭奈聲色何？」師云：「和尚適來道甚麼？」溈山云：「我祇道為伊上堂一上。」師云：「為甚麼喚作聲色？」溈山云：「雖然如此，驗過也無妨。」師云：「大事因緣又作麼生驗？」溈山竪起拳。師云：「終是指東畫西。」溈山云：「子適來問甚麼？」師云：「問和尚大事因緣。」溈山云：「為甚麼喚作指東畫西？」師云：「為著聲色故，某甲所以問過。」溈山云：「並未曉了此事。」師云：「如何得曉了此事？」溈山云：「寂子聲色，老僧東西。」師云：「一月千江體不分水。」溈山云：「應須與麼始得。」師云：「如金與金，終無異色，豈有異名？」溈山云：「作麼生是無異名底道理？」師云：「瓶、盤、釵、釧、券、盂、盆。」溈山云：「寂子說禪如師子吼，驚散狐、狼、野干之屬。」

Guishan was feeding raw rice to crows; turning his head, he saw the Master and said: "Today I will ascend the hall once for them." The Master said: "Following the routine, I am privileged to hear it." Guishan said: "How is the matter that was heard?" The Master said: "Crows make crow calls; magpies make magpie cries." Guishan said: "What can be done about sound and form?" The Master said: "What did the Upādhyāya say just now?" Guishan said: "I only said that I would ascend the hall once for them." The Master said: "Why call it sound and form?" Guishan said: "Even though it is like this, examining it is harmless." The Master said: "How is the great cause and condition to be examined?" Guishan held up his fist. The Master said: "In the end it points east and sketches west." Guishan said: "What did you ask just now?" The Master said: "I asked about the Upādhyāya's great cause and condition." Guishan said: "Why call it pointing east and sketching west?" The Master said: "Because of attachment to sound and form, I therefore examined it." Guishan said: "You have not yet clearly understood this matter at all." The Master said: "How can one clearly understand this matter?" Guishan said: "Jizi's sound and form; the old monk's east and west." The Master said: "One moon in a thousand rivers; the essence does not divide the waters." Guishan said: "It must be like this to be right." The Master said: "Like gold and gold, in the end there is no different color; how could there be different names?" Guishan said: "What is the principle of having no different names?" The Master said: "Vases, plates, hairpins, bracelets, talismans, bowls, and basins." Guishan said: "Jizi talks Chan like a lion's roar, frightening away the packs of foxes, wolves, and jackals."
