黃龍慧南禪師語錄 1.192

1.192

上堂，云：「然僧家居山好離欲，寂靜是沙門法，有經教可披可閱，有知識可參可問，所以有僧問雲居弘覺大師：『僧家畢竟如何？』覺云：『居山好。』僧禮拜起，覺云：『爾作麼生會？』僧云：『僧家畢竟於善惡生死、逆順境界，其心如山之不動。』覺乃打一棒云：『孤負先聖，喪我兒孫。』覺乃問傍僧：『爾作麼生會？』其僧禮拜，起云：『僧家畢竟居山，眼不觀玄黃之色，耳不聽絲竹之聲。』覺云：『孤負先聖，喪我兒孫。』」師云：「且作麼生道得一句，不孤負先聖、不喪兒孫？若人道得，到處青山，無非道場；若道不得，有寒暑兮促君壽，有鬼神兮妬君福。」以拂子擊禪床，下座。（已上，並出《永平廣錄》）

Ascending the hall, [the Master] said: "Indeed, for a monk to dwell in the mountains is good for leaving desires; tranquility is the way of a śramaṇa. There are scriptures to open and read; there are kalyāṇamitras to visit and question. Therefore a monk asked Great Master Hongjue of Yunju, 'What is it ultimately like for a monk?' Jue said, 'Dwelling in the mountains is good.' The monk bowed and stood up. Jue said, 'How do you understand it?' The monk said, 'Ultimately, for a monk in realms of good and evil, birth and death, adversity and favor, the mind is immovable like a mountain.' Jue gave him a blow with his stick and said, 'You betray the ancient sages and ruin my descendants!' Jue then asked a monk standing by, 'How do you understand it?' That monk bowed, stood up, and said, 'Ultimately, for a monk dwelling in the mountains, the eyes do not look at dark and yellow colors, and the ears do not listen to the sounds of strings and pipes.' Jue said, 'You betray the ancient sages and ruin my descendants!'" The Master said, "Tell me, how can one utter a phrase that neither betrays the ancient sages nor ruins descendants? If someone can speak it, then everywhere green mountains are none other than bodhimaṇḍas; if one cannot speak it, 'Cold and heat shorten your life; ghosts and spirits envy your blessings.'" Striking the Chan seat with the fly-whisk, he descended from the seat. (All the above are from the *Eihei kōroku*.)
