法演禪師語錄 2.36

2.36

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."
