汾陽無德禪師語錄 1.76

1.76

上堂云：「倒却須彌，涸竭大海，魚龍變化，禽鳥飛騰，忙忙者畐塞虛空。正當恁麼時，佛出頭來，貶向他方世界，且道還有修行分也無？與我點出來看。有麼有麼？」僧纔禮拜，師便打云：「我早是無端入荒草，爾更待平地上掘坑，彼此相埋沒作麼？道來道來。」僧無語，師有頌云：「釋尊嗟汝妄諸求，憐愍堪悲截眾流，決定莫教絲髮動，吉祥天降讚清幽。」

Is there?" Just as a monk bowed, the Master struck him and said, "I have already entered the wild weeds for no reason; why must you also dig a pit on level ground, burying each other? Speak! Speak!" The monk was speechless. The Master gave a verse: / 'The World-Honored One sighs over your deluded seekings; / in pity and grief he cuts off the many streams. / Decisively do not let a fine hair stir; / Śrīmahādevī descends to praise the tranquil purity.'"
