圓悟佛果禪師語錄 15.4

15.4

圓湛虛凝，道體也；展縮殺活，妙用也。善游刃、能操守，如珠走盤、如盤走珠，無頃刻落虛，亦不分世法佛法，直下打成一片，所謂觸處逢渠，出沒縱橫，初無外物，淨裸裸阿轆轆，以本分事印定，頭頭上明、物物上了，何處更有得失是非好惡長短來？但恐自己正眼未得洞明，是致落在二邊，則沒交涉也。豈不見永嘉道「上士一決一切了，中下多聞多不信。」

Perfect clarity, empty and congealed, is the substance of the Way; expanding and contracting, killing and bringing to life, is the wondrous function. Skilled in wielding the blade, able to hold fast, like a pearl rolling in a basin, like a basin rolling with a pearl, not falling into emptiness for an instant, nor distinguishing worldly dharma from Buddha-Dharma, directly fused into one piece: this is the so-called 'encountering Him at every turn,' appearing and disappearing freely, originally without external objects, stark naked and turning smoothly, sealed by the fundamental lot, bright upon every matter, clear upon every object—where else could gain and loss, right and wrong, good and bad, long and short come from? One only fears that one's own correct eye has not yet been thoroughly clarified, thereby causing one to fall into the two extremes, in which case there is no connection. Have you not seen Yongjia say: 'A superior person resolves it once and for all; the middling and inferior hear much and mostly disbelieve'?
