圓悟佛果禪師語錄 10.4

10.4

師云：「一舉便知落處，已是第八頭；未跨船舷三十棒，也是第九首。直饒空劫已前威音那畔一時座斷，大似釘樁搖櫓，膠柱調弦。直饒顯目前機、用目前事，一問一答、一挨一拶、一出一入，正如開眼尿床、立地作夢。若是明眼漢，須知不恁麼。所以從上來事，只要箇奇特人直下承當得，坐斷天下人舌頭。還有恁麼人麼？如無，不免合水和泥，向荊棘林中出手去也。」遂舉拂子云：「還見麼？三世諸佛六代祖師天下老和尚，總在這裏。至於萬象森羅，日月星辰，四聖六凡，盡無邊香水海醯雞蠛蠓一切含情，總在這裏。以至諸人於日用中亦在這裏。唯有山僧不在這裏。且道為什麼如此？同途不同轍，同死不同生。眾中忽若有箇漢，也不恁麼，許爾具一隻眼。正當恁麼時如何？定光金地遙招手，智者江陵喑點頭。」下座。

The Master said: "Knowing where it lands at a single mention is already the eighth head; thirty blows before stepping across the ship's rail is still the ninth head. Even if one cuts it off directly prior to the empty kalpa and on that side of King Bhīṣmagarjitasvararāja, it is much like driving in a stake to row a scull, or gluing the bridges to tune a zither. Even if one displays the dynamic before the eyes and employs the matter before the eyes, with one question and one answer, one push and one press, one going out and one coming in—it is just like opening one's eyes and wetting the bed, or standing upright and dreaming. If you are a clear-eyed fellow, you must know that it is not thus. Therefore, regarding the matter handed down from above, all that is needed is an extraordinary person to directly undertake it and cut off the tongues of everyone under heaven. Is there such a person? If not, I cannot help but mix with the mud and water, extending a hand into the thorn forest." He then held up his whisk and said: "Do you still see? The buddhas of the three periods, the six generations of patriarchs, and all the old venerable masters under heaven are all right here. Even the myriad phenomena, the sun, moon, stars, and constellations, the four sages and six ordinary beings, all beings across the boundless oceans of fragrant water down to midges and gnats—all sentient beings are completely right here. Even you all in your daily functioning are also right here. Only this mountain monk is not right here. Tell me, why is it like this? The same path, but not the same tracks; dying together, but not living together. If someone in the assembly should suddenly not be thus either, I allow that you possess a single eye. Right at such a time, how is it? Dīpaṅkara from the Golden Ground waves his hand from afar; Zhiyi at Jiangling nods in silence. He stepped down from the seat."
