圓悟佛果禪師語錄 11.20

11.20

師云：「天無四壁逈絕羅籠，地絕八維了無障隔，與虛空同體，合暗合明；與虛空同壽，亘古亘今。人人有一坐具地，何用安排；處處悉彌勒門開，不須彈指。盡是人人受用，無去無來，以大悲力成此勝事，所以釋迦老子未離兜率已降王宮，未出母胎度人已畢。且道：諸人分上還有這箇消息也無？若無，人人具足箇箇圓成，因什麼却無？若有，諸人即今在甚處安身立命？還知落處麼？若知落處，不動道場而遍能含受十方剎海，一塵一剎隨處受生，何待九龍吐香水、分手指天地、作大師子吼？須知未出母胎時，已作大師子吼，直至各各時時念念處處悉皆圓滿，清淨無為無間無斷大解脫門。正當恁麼時，晝昇兜率夜降閻浮，其中摩尼珠為什麼不現？敢問諸人：中間作麼生？還委悉得麼？龍袖拂開全體現，象王行處絕狐蹤。」

The Master said: "Heaven has no four walls, utterly beyond all cages and snares; earth has no eight boundaries, completely without obstruction. It is of one substance with empty space, merging dark and merging bright; it shares the same lifespan as empty space, extending from ancient times to the present. Everyone has a place for a sitting mat—what need is there to arrange it? Everywhere Maitreya's door is open—no need to snap your fingers. It is all for everyone to use, without going and without coming. Through the power of great compassion this supreme event is accomplished. Therefore, old Śākyamuni had already descended into the royal palace before leaving Tuṣita; he had already finished liberating people before emerging from his mother's womb. And tell me: is there this news in your own shares, or is there not? If not, everyone is fully endowed, each one is completely accomplished—why would it be lacking? If there is, where do you settle your body and establish your life right now? Do you know the landing place? If you know the landing place, then without moving from the bodhimanda you can universally contain the oceans of lands in the ten directions; taking birth everywhere in every speck of dust and every kṣetra, what need is there to wait for nine dragons to spout fragrant water, to point with hands to heaven and earth, or to roar the great lion's roar? You should know that before emerging from the mother's womb, he had already roared the great lion's roar, straight up to every single person, every moment, every thought, and every place being completely fulfilled—the great gate of liberation that is pure, unconditioned, without gap, and without interruption. Right at such a time, ascending by day to Tuṣita and descending by night to Jambudvīpa, why does the mani jewel within not appear? I dare ask you all: what about the interval between? Can you understand? / The dragon sleeve brushes open, the whole body appears; / Where the elephant king walks, foxes' tracks disappear."
