1.77

問：「寒暑漸盛，貧者何依？」師云：「不掛無絲服，終日樂咍咍。」「恁麼則應不孤露也。」師云：「深巖隱不得，露地不彰形。」問：「如何是向上一路？」師云：「千聖不傳。」「為什麼不傳？」師云：「不欲埋沒。」問：「如何是道場？」師云：「下脚不得。」「如何是涅槃？」師云：「擡脚不得。」「擡脚不得，意旨如何？」師云：「三十三天。」「下脚不得，意旨如何？」師云：「十八重地獄。」問：「承教有言：『心無罣礙。』如何是無罣礙？」師云：「天高無可測，地厚莫能知。」「恁麼則東西南北路，學人行處寬。」師云：「汝試行一步看。」「未審行後如何？」師云：「長空無鳥跡，水裏摸魚蹤。」問：「如何是一輪月？」師云：「不從天地出，豈藉四時推。」「為什麼有晝有夜？」師云：「迷人妄生覺，覺後即知時。」問：「東山西嶺青，意旨如何？」師云：「博地生寒暑，風吹日照霞。」「恁麼則南有趙州，北有雪峯。」師云：「顛倒了也。」問：「釋迦慳，迦葉富，如何是釋迦慳？」師云：「一點拋不得。」「如何是迦葉富？」師云：「普濟人天。」問：「如何得豁然惺惺去？」師云：「步步不移。」「恁麼則寒林無一葉，長天絕見霞。」師云：「飛雁叫長空，叢林收不得。」問：「如何是達諸佛意？」師云：「銅頭鐵額。」「恁麼則謝師方便也。」師云：「三日後頭痛。」問：「開口動舌俱是病，應機接物事如何？」師便喝，隨聲打。

A monk asked, "Cold and heat grow ever more intense; what can a poor person rely on?" The Master said, "Not wearing threadless clothes, one rejoices in laughter all day long." "In that case, then one should not be solitary and exposed." The Master said, "Deep crags cannot conceal it; the open ground does not display its form." He asked, "What is the upward road?" The Master said, "A thousand sages do not transmit it." "Why do they not transmit it?" The Master said, "They do not wish to bury it." He asked, "What is the bodhimaṇḍa?" The Master said, "You cannot set your feet down." "What is nirvāṇa?" The Master said, "You cannot lift your feet." "What is the meaning of 'you cannot lift your feet'?" The Master said, "The Thirty-three Heavens." "What is the meaning of 'you cannot set your feet down'?" The Master said, "The eighteen layers of hells." He asked, "According to the teaching, it is said: 'The mind has no hindrance.' What is being without hindrance?" The Master said, "The heavens are high and cannot be measured; the earth is thick and cannot be known." "In that case, along the roads east, west, south, and north, the student's walking place is vast." The Master said, "Try taking a single step and see." "I wonder, what about after walking?" The Master said, "In the vast sky there are no bird tracks; in the water one gropes for fish traces." He asked, "What is the single wheel of the moon?" The Master said, "It does not emerge from heaven and earth; how could it rely on the four seasons to turn?" "Why is there day and night?" The Master said, "Deluded people falsely give rise to awareness; after awakening, one immediately knows the time." He asked, "'The East Mountain and the West Ridge are green'—what is the meaning of this?" The Master said, "Across the broad earth cold and heat arise; the wind blows and the sun shines upon the rosy clouds." "In that case, then there is Zhaozhou in the south and Xuefeng in the north." The Master said, "Turned upside down!" He asked, "Śākya is stingy and Kāśyapa is rich. What is Śākya's stinginess?" The Master said, "Not a single speck can be cast away." "What is Kāśyapa's wealth?" The Master said, "Universally rescuing humans and devas." He asked, "How can one suddenly become awake and alert?" The Master said, "Step by step, without moving." "In that case, then in the cold grove not a single leaf remains; in the vast sky rosy clouds are completely absent." The Master said, "Wild geese call across the vast sky; the monastery cannot contain them." He asked, "What is realizing the intent of all Buddhas?" The Master said, "A copper head and iron forehead." "In that case, then I thank the Master for your skillful means." The Master said, "After three days, a headache." He asked, "Opening the mouth and moving the tongue are both illness; what about responding to capacity and receiving beings?" The Master gave a shout and struck him following the sound.
