楊岐方會和尚後錄 1.4

1.4

上堂，僧問：「如何是佛？」師云：「賊是人做。」師乃云：「萬法是心光，諸緣惟性曉，本無迷悟人，只要今日了。山河大地，有什麼過？山河大地，目前諸法，總在諸人脚跟下，自是諸人不信，可謂古釋迦不前，今彌勒不後。楊岐與麼，可謂買帽相頭。」

Ascending the hall, a monk asked: "What is the Buddha?" The master said: "A thief is made of a man." The master then said: "The ten thousand dharmas are the light of mind; the many conditions are understood only through nature. Originally there are no deluded or awakened people; it only requires resolution today. What fault do the mountains, rivers, and the great earth have? The mountains, rivers, the great earth, and all phenomena before your eyes are entirely beneath your feet; it is simply that you do not believe. It may be said that the ancient Śākya does not precede, and the present Maitreya does not follow. For Yangqi to speak like this may be called buying a hat to fit the head."
