圓悟佛果禪師語錄 1.55

1.55

上堂，僧問：「如何是教外別傳一句？」師云：「問取燈籠。」進云：「謝師答話。」師云：「自領出去。」進云：「却是禪外別傳也。」師云：「三千里外過崖州。」問：「學人不恁麼時如何？」師云：「莫亂統。」進云：「趙州庭前柏，崇寧庭前楠，是同是別？」師云：「莫眼華。」進云：「一種沒絃琴，惟師彈得妙。」師云：「山僧亦不承當。」乃云：「在天成象、在地成形，日月為照臨，四時作寒暑，居谷盈谷、處坑滿坑，有情則動轉施為，無情則森羅顯煥。如今在山僧拄杖頭上，指山山崩，指海海竭，點鐵成金，點金成鐵，攪長河為酥酪，化酥酪為長河，見諸人不會，變作無邊身菩薩，十方六趣悉皆普現去也。還見麼？鴛鴦綉出從君看，不把金針度與人。」以拄杖擊禪床，下座。

Ascending the hall, a monk asked, "What is the single phrase transmitted separately outside the teachings?"
The Master said, "Go ask the lantern."
The monk continued, "I thank the Master for answering the question."
The Master said, "Take it upon yourself and get out."
The monk continued, "Then this is a separate transmission outside Chan."
The Master said, "Three thousand li away, beyond Yazhou."
A monk asked, "How is it when the student is not like this?"
The Master said, "Do not cause confusion."
The monk continued, "The cypress in front of Zhaozhou's hall and the nanmu in front of Chongning's hall—are they identical or different?"
The Master said, "Do not get blurred vision."
The monk continued, "The single stringless zither—only the Master can play it wonderfully."
The Master said, "The mountain monk also does not accept it."
He then said, "In heaven forming images, on earth forming shapes; the sun and moon serve as shining illuminators, the four seasons produce cold and heat; dwelling in the valleys it fills the valleys, situated in the pits it fills the pits. Where there is sentience, it acts and functions; where there is insentience, it arrays and shines. Now, on the tip of the mountain monk's staff: point to a mountain and the mountain collapses; point to a sea and the sea dries up; touch iron and turn it into gold; touch gold and turn it into iron; stir the long river into ghee; transform ghee into the long river. Seeing that none of you understand, it transforms into the Bodhisattva of Boundless Body, universally manifesting throughout the ten directions and six realms. Do you still see? The mandarin ducks are embroidered for you to see, but do not pass the golden needle to others." Striking the Chan bench with his staff, he stepped down from the seat.
