2.36

提刑入寺,上堂云:「兵隨印轉,將逐符行,大權菩薩覆護眾生,相順者善言誘諭,凶頑者枷棒縱橫,中間有箇沒量大漢,金鎖玄關留不住,聖凡位裏莫能收,若柰何不得,佛法無靈驗。白雲有箇消息試說看。古人云:『無邊剎境自他不隔於毫端,十世古今始終不離於當念。』納須彌於芥中,擲大千於方外,變大地為黃金,攪長河為酥酪。到者裏合作麼生?國土動搖迎勢至,寶花彌滿送觀音。」

When the Judicial Commissioner entered the monastery, [the Master] ascended the hall and said: "Troops turn following the seal; generals move pursuing the tally. Bodhisattvas of great expedient authority protect and shield sentient beings: those who are compliant, they guide and persuade with good words; those who are fierce and stubborn, they subdue with cangues and staves horizontally and vertically. In the midst of this, there is an immeasurable great fellow: golden locks and mysterious barriers cannot detain him; stages of sage and ordinary cannot contain him. If nothing could be done with him, the Buddha Dharma would have no efficacy. Baiyun has a bit of news; let me try to speak it. An ancient said, 'Boundless realms, self and others, are not separated by the tip of a hair; the ten periods of past and present, from beginning to end, do not leave the present thought.' Storing Sumeru inside a mustard seed, hurling the great chiliocosm beyond the compass, turning the great earth into yellow gold, churning the long river into ghee. Arriving here, what should be done? The lands shake to welcome Mahāsthāmaprāpta; jeweled flowers fill [the sky] to send off Avalokiteśvara."
