圓悟佛果禪師語錄 11.5

11.5

鄆王請小參，僧問：「無修無證，乃是本覺妙明；為求佛果菩提，正是有作之因。去此二途，請師直指。」師云：「吹毛寶劍逼人寒。」進云：「一點靈光異，萬古照人間。」師云：「用一點靈光作麼？」進云：「可謂言言合聖道，法法自圓成。」師云：「他亦本無言。」僧禮拜，師乃云：「寬廓非外，十方國土目前觀；寂寥非內，一毫頭上寶王剎。直得無內無外、絕彼絕此，亘古亘今、全明全暗，到這裏亦須有轉身一路，始能得大自在。豈不見道：大人具大見，大智得大用。發大機，群機泯息；立一言，眾言絕謂。直得言言機機頭頭相副，如金鎖連環相續不斷，此猶是長生路上事。所以道：『言鋒若差，玄關萬里。直得懸崖撒手，自肯承當，絕後再穌，欺君不得。』非常之旨，人焉廋哉！既有非常之旨，必藉非常之人；既有非常之人，必明非常之旨。正當恁麼時如何？側身方外看，誰是箇中人。」復云：「護生之德徹坤維，草木昆蟲樂聖時，敵勝驚群有奇特，如何是奇特？囉囉哩哩。」擊禪床下座。

At an informal gathering requested by the Prince of Yun, a monk asked: 'No cultivation and no realization is the marvelous clarity of original awakening; seeking the bodhi of the Buddha-fruit is precisely the cause of conditioned action. Leaving aside these two ways, I ask the Master to point directly.' The Master said: 'The hair-severing jewel sword chills one to the bone.' The monk continued: 'A single spark of numinous light is extraordinary, illuminating the human realm through countless kalpas.' The Master said: 'What will you do with a single spark of numinous light?' The monk continued: 'It can be called: every word accords with the holy path, every phenomenon is of itself fully perfected.' The Master said: 'He too was originally wordless.' The monk bowed, and the Master said: 'Spacious and open, not outside—the lands of the ten directions are viewed before the eyes; tranquil and solitary, not inside—the lands of the jewel king are upon the tip of a single hair. Directly without inside and outside, cutting off that and this, spanning the ancient and modern, completely bright and completely dark: arriving here, you must still have a path of turning the body before you can attain great ease. Have you not heard it said: Great people possess great views; great wisdom attains great function. When the great dynamic is released, all dynamic sharpness ceases; when a single word is established, all words are deprived of speech. Directly every word and every dynamic match each other point by point, continuous and unbroken like interlocking golden links; this is still a matter on the road of eternal life. Therefore it is said: "If the sharpness of words errs, the mysterious pass is ten thousand leagues away. Even if you let go on the hanging cliff, personally accept and shoulder it, and revive after utter death, you cannot deceive the sovereign." How can an extraordinary purport be concealed from anyone! Since there is an extraordinary purport, it must rely on an extraordinary person; since there is an extraordinary person, they must clarify an extraordinary purport. Right at such a time, how is it? Turning sideways beyond the realm to look: who is the person within it?' He further said: 'The virtue of protecting life penetrates the earth's bounds; / Plants, trees, insects, and reptiles rejoice in the sage's era. / Overcoming the match and startling the crowd, there is something extraordinary. / What is the extraordinary? / Luoluo lili.' He struck the meditation seat and descended from the platform.
