圓悟佛果禪師語錄 1.37

1.37

上堂，僧問：「言無展事、語不投機時，如何委悉？」師云：「未問已前百雜碎。」進云：「恁麼則只許老胡知也。」師云：「摸索不著。」進云：「千聖出來也摸索不著。」師云：「眼睛突出。」乃云：「不是目前法，亦非心外機，直下絕承當，當陽無向背，一處明去千百處光輝，一言通時千言百言透脫，非心非佛，拈向一邊，舉古舉今，撥致一處，只諸人分上還證據得麼？若證據得，三世諸佛於中成道，神通變化於中流出，大地山河於中發現，九類四生於中長育。且作麼生是該羅萬有一句？來年更有新條在，惱亂春風卒未休。」下座。

Ascending the hall, a monk asked, "When words do not unfold the matter and speech does not accord with the dynamic, how does one understand?"
The Master said, "Before the question was asked, a hundred fragments."
[The monk] continued, "In that case, only the old barbarian is allowed to know it."
The Master said, "You cannot grope for it."
[The monk] continued, "Even if a thousand sages came forth, they could not grope for it either."
The Master said, "Your eyes bulge out."
Then [the Master] said: "It is not a phenomenon before one's eyes, nor is it a mechanism outside the mind. Directly underfoot, all acceptance is severed; before the sun, there is neither facing nor turning away. When one place is bright, hundreds and thousands of places shine; when one word gets through, hundreds and thousands of words penetrate freely. Not mind, not Buddha—toss it to one side; citing the past, citing the present—cast it all into one place. Right in your own share, can you verify it? If you can verify it, the Buddhas of the three periods attain the Way within it, spiritual penetrations and transformations flow forth from within it, the great earth, mountains, and rivers manifest within it, and the nine classes and four kinds of birth are nurtured within it. And what is the single phrase that encompasses all existing things? / In the coming year there will still be new branches, / Disrupting the spring breeze without end. / Descended from the seat."
