圓悟佛果禪師語錄 14.35

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [14.35](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.14.35)

不與萬法為侶者，是什麼人？回光自照看，待汝一口吸盡西江水，即向汝道。八角磨盤空裏走，參得透，目前萬法平沈，無始妄想蕩盡。德山隔江搖手，便有人承當，鳥窠吹布毛，尋有人省悟，得非此段大因緣，時至根苗自生也，亦機感相投有地也。亦當人密運無間，借師門發揮。何峭絕如此之難，而超證如此之易？古人以輥芥投針為況，良不虛矣。

> Who is the one who does not keep company with the myriad dharmas? Turn the light back to illumine yourself and see! When you have swallowed all the waters of the West River in a single gulp, I will tell you. 'An eight-cornered millstone runs through empty space.' If you penetrate this, the myriad dharmas before your eyes will subside evenly, and beginningless deluded thoughts will be completely wiped away. When Deshan waved his hand across the river, someone immediately took it up; when Niaoke blew the cloth fluff, someone instantly awakened. Is this not because when the time arrives for this great cause and condition, the sprouts emerge of themselves, and dynamic accord also finds its ground? It is also because the person secretly moves without interruption, borrowing the teacher's gate to express it. Why is being steep and sheer so difficult, while transcendent realization is so easy? The ancients used rolling a mustard seed to hit the needle's eye as an analogy; it is truly not in vain.
