法演禪師語錄 3.39

3.39

上堂，舉：「僧問雪峯云：『古㵎寒泉時如何？』峯云：『瞪目不見底。』僧云：『飲者如何？』峯云：『不從口入。』趙州聞得云：『不可從鼻孔裏入也。』僧却問趙州：『古㵎寒泉時如何？』州云：『苦。』僧云：『飲者如何？』州云：『死。』」師云：「若有人問五祖：『古㵎寒泉時如何？』即向伊道：『水。』『飲者如何？』但云：『當下止渴。』或有箇人出來問道：『與曹溪水是一是二？』我即向伊道：『分枝列派縱橫自在，低處澆田高處潑菜。』」

Ascending the hall, the Master cited: “A monk asked Xuefeng, ‘How is it when it is the cold spring of an ancient ravine?’ Xuefeng said, ‘Staring with wide eyes, one does not see the bottom.’ The monk said, ‘What about one who drinks of it?’ Xuefeng said, ‘It does not enter through the mouth.’ Zhaozhou heard of this and said, ‘It must not enter through the nostrils.’ The monk then asked Zhaozhou, ‘How is it when it is the cold spring of an ancient ravine?’ Zhaozhou said, ‘Bitter.’ The monk said, ‘What about one who drinks of it?’ Zhaozhou said, ‘He dies.’” The Master said: “If someone were to ask Wuzu, ‘How is it when it is the cold spring of an ancient ravine?’ I would say to him: ‘Water.’ ‘What about one who drinks of it?’ I would merely say: ‘It immediately quenches thirst.’ If someone were to come forth and ask, ‘Is it one with or two from the waters of Caoxi?’ I would immediately say to him: ‘Branches and streams diverge, free and unhindered; watering fields in the lowlands, splashing vegetables on high ground.’”
