汾陽無德禪師語錄 2.74

2.74

文殊問無著：「南方如何住持？」著云：「末法比丘，少奉戒律。」云：「多少眾？」著云：「或三百或五百。」無著却問：「此間如何住持？」殊云：「凡聖同居，龍蛇混雜。」云：「多少眾？」殊云：「前三三，後三三。」至晚求宿，殊云：「大德有執心在。」「某甲無執心。」云：「還曾受戒否？」云：「受戒久矣。」云：「既無執心，何用受戒？」著無語。童子送出，至門遂問：「適來大聖道，前三三，後三三，是多少？」童子召大德，著迴首，童子云：「是多少？」又問：「此是什麼寺額？」童子指金剛背後，無著迴首，化寺乃隱。

Mañjuśrī asked Wuzhuo, "How is the Dharma maintained in the south?"
Wuzhuo said, "In the age of the degenerate Dharma, monks rarely observe the precepts."
He asked, "How large is the assembly?"
Wuzhuo said, "Perhaps three hundred or five hundred."
Wuzhuo then asked, "How is the Dharma maintained here?"
Mañjuśrī said, "Ordinary mortals and sages dwell together; dragons and snakes are intermingled."
He asked, "How large is the assembly?"
Mañjuśrī said, "Three three in front, three three behind."
When evening came, Wuzhuo requested lodging. Mañjuśrī said, "Virtuous One, you still have attachment in mind."
"I have no attachment."
He said, "Have you ever received the precepts?"
He said, "I received the precepts long ago."
He said, "Since you have no attachment, what use is receiving precepts?"
Wuzhuo had no reply.
A youth escorted him out. When they reached the gate, Wuzhuo asked, "Just now the Great Sage said, 'Three three in front, three three behind.' How many is that?"
The youth called out, "Virtuous One!"
Wuzhuo turned his head. The youth said, "How many is that?"
He also asked, "What is the name of this monastery on the plaque?"
The youth pointed behind a vajra-warrior. Wuzhuo turned his head, and the conjured monastery disappeared.
