1.95

邑人問大達傳燈光接續展舒：「不斷法中王一句玄談，今古外三玄三要藏中藏，如何是第一玄？」師云：「親囑飲光前。」「如何是第二玄？」師云：「絕相離言詮。」「如何是第三玄？」師云：「明鑒照無偏。」「恁麼則三玄□□□□□九天皆唱太平歌。」師云：「杲日舒光無□□，□□盡耀豁乾坤。」問：「人王與法王事如何？」師云：「有道無機。」「未審人王事如何？」師云：「皇風歌美化。」「未審法王事如何？」師云：「無私導有緣。」問：「無業預蒙封石塔，汾陽名字藏中安，未審三聖修何法？請師方便指來端。」師云：「一語兩當。」「恁麼則從來不差牙，今日妄陳詞。」師云：「的指勿踟蹰。」問：「如何是三要？」師云：「一句分明該萬象，九天無不盡霑□。」「如何是第一要？」師云：「言中無造作。」「如何是第二要？」師云：「千聖入玄奧。」「如何是第三要？」師云：「四句百非外，盡蹈寒山道。」「謝師親示離言旨，闔國皆賀太平年。」師云：「多語忉忉，少言易會。大家聽取一頌：明王治化洽乾坤，景德親宣燭佛燈，佛日長輝開佛眼，願將此善福吾君。」

A townsman asked, "Great understanding transmits the lamp, its light continuing to unfold: what is the King of Dharma's uninterrupted phrase of mysterious discourse, the three mysteries and three essentials beyond past and present, the treasury within the treasury—what is the first mystery?" / The Master said, "Personally entrusted before Kāśyapa." / "What is the second mystery?" / The Master said, "Cutting off characteristics and leaving verbal explanations behind." / "What is the third mystery?" / The Master said, "The bright mirror reflects without bias." / "If so, then the three mysteries […] the nine heavens all sing the song of great peace." / The Master said, "The bright sun sheds its light without […], […] fully shines and lays open heaven and earth." / [The townsman] asked, "How are the matters of the king of people and the King of Dharma?" / The Master said, "There is the Way, but no machination." / "I wonder, what is the affair of the king of people?" / The Master said, "The imperial wind sings of beautiful transformation." / "I wonder, what is the affair of the King of Dharma?" / The Master said, "Selflessly guiding those with affinity." / [The townsman] asked, "Wuye was previously bestowed a stone pagoda, and the name Fenyang rests within the canon. I wonder what Dharma the three sages cultivated? Please, Master, expediently point out its origin." / The Master said, "One phrase hits both marks." / "If so, then from the start there has been no discrepancy, yet today words were vainly offered." / The Master said, "Directly point without hesitation." / [The townsman] asked, "What are the three essentials?" / The Master said, "A single phrase clearly subsumes all phenomena; / the nine heavens are all completely moistened by […]." / "What is the first essential?" / The Master said, "Within speech, there is no contrivance." / "What is the second essential?" / The Master said, "The thousand sages enter the profound mystery." / "What is the third essential?" / The Master said, "Beyond the four propositions and hundred negations, / all tread the path of Cold Mountain." / "Thank you, Master, for personally showing the import beyond words; / the entire country celebrates the year of great peace." / The Master said, "Many words are chatter; few words are easily understood. Everyone, listen to a verse: / The wise king's rule and transformation pervade heaven and earth; / the Jingde [emperor] personally proclaimed the kindling of the Buddha's lamp. / May the Buddha-sun forever shine and open the Buddha-eye; / we wish to dedicate this virtue to bring blessing to our sovereign."
