汾陽無德禪師語錄 1.86

1.86

上堂云：「權開頓漸，假說聖凡，療狂子之多疑，救達人之少悟。親明自性，勿妄他求，行住怡然，語默澹靜，真常流注，永棄斷常，智海湛然，義天朗耀，作麼生？道將一句來。」問：「正當恁麼時如何？」師云：「無下手處。」「恁麼則簾外有人聞也。」師云：「當機無影像，屈己為今時。」「如何是今時？」師云：「通身不隔陌。」問：「如何是塵中獨露身？」師云：「巧心求不得，鑽氷却出煙。」「恁麼則非塵也。」師云：「非塵亦是病。」問：「如何是世尊不說說？」師云：「北地蘆花白，南天雪不寒。」「如何是迦葉不聞聞？」師云：「闍梨甚處聞？」問：「不與萬法為侶者是什麼人？」師便喝。「這箇是野干鳴，未審是什麼人？」師云：「腦裂。」問：「東山西嶺青，意旨如何？」師云：「千歲氷巖人罕到，一團煙霧足龍行。」「恁麼則三年一閏，九月重陽。」師云：「五峯龍氣盛，金界碧霄天，同不悟祖宗。」「不信大道時如何？」師云：「打破瑠璃卵，透出鳳凰兒。」「今日親見和尚也。」師云：「三千里外算途程。」

Ascending the hall, the Master said: "Expediently establishing the sudden and the gradual, provisionally speaking of the sacred and the ordinary, healing the wild child's many doubts, and rescuing the attained person's slight awakening. Personally clarify your own nature, do not falsely seek elsewhere; walking and staying joyful, speaking and silent placid and still, true constancy flowing forth, eternally abandoning annihilation and eternity, the ocean of wisdom clear and still, the sky of principle brightly shining—how about it? Bring forth a phrase!" A monk asked, "What about at just such a time?" The Master said, "No place to lay a hand." "In that case, then outside the curtain someone hears." The Master said, "Directly confronting the capacity, there is no reflection; bending oneself for the present moment." "What is the present moment?" The Master said, "The entire body is not separated." He asked, "What is the body solitary and exposed amid dust?" The Master said, "An ingenious mind cannot seek it; boring into ice instead produces smoke." "In that case, then it is not dust." The Master said, "Not being dust is also an illness." He asked, "What is the World-Honored One's preaching without speaking?" The Master said, "In the northern lands the reed flowers are white; in the southern skies the snow is not cold." "What is Kāśyapa's hearing without hearing?" The Master said, "Ācārya, where did you hear it?" He asked, "What kind of person is one who does not keep company with the ten thousand dharmas?" The Master gave a shout. The monk said, "This is a jackal's yelp; I wonder, what kind of person is it?" The Master said, "Head split open." He asked, "'The East Mountain and the West Ridge are green'—what is the meaning of this?" The Master said, "People rarely reach the thousand-year-old icy crags; a mass of mist and fog is enough for dragons to travel." "In that case, then there is an intercalary month every three years, and the Double Ninth in the ninth month." The Master said, "On the Five Peaks the dragon energy is abundant; the golden realm reaches the azure sky—alike in not awakening to the ancestors." "What about when one does not believe in the Great Way?" The Master said, "Smashing the lapis lazuli egg, the young phoenix breaks through." "Today I personally see the Master." The Master said, "Calculating the road three thousand miles away."
