圓悟佛果禪師語錄 17.21

17.21

舉：「昔日摩耶夫人聖母左手攀枝，釋迦老子右脇降誕，九龍吐水沐浴金軀，便乃周行七步目顧四方，一手指天一手指地，作大師子吼云：『天上天下惟我獨尊。』後來雲門大師道：『我當時若見，一棒打殺，與狗子喫，貴圖天下太平。』」師拈云：「驚群之句，須向驚群處舉揚；奇特之事，須遇奇特人前拈出。釋迦老子可謂驚群，雲門大師不妨奇特，直下以不可測度底機輪，向千聖頂𩕳上撥轉。若能恁麼體會，始知釋迦把斷要津，雲門知恩解報。且道：落在什麼處？還會麼？棒頭有眼明如日。要識真金火裏看。」

[The Master] cited: "In ancient times, Queen Māyā, the holy mother, held a branch with her left hand, and Old Man Śākya was born from her right side. Nine dragons spat water to bathe his golden body; he then walked seven steps in all directions, looked in the four directions, pointed one hand to heaven and one hand to earth, and made a great lion's roar, saying: 'Above heaven and below heaven, I alone am the honored one.' Later, Great Master Yunmen said, 'Had I seen him at that moment, I would have beaten him to death with one blow of the staff and fed him to the dogs, all for the sake of peace under heaven.'"
The Master critiqued it, saying, "Phrases that astonish the crowd must be brought forth where the crowd is astonished; extraordinary matters must be set forth before extraordinary people. Old Man Śākya may be called crowd-astonishing; Great Master Yunmen was undeniably extraordinary. Directly with an unfathomable dynamic wheel, he turned it around on the crowns of a thousand sages' heads. If you can comprehend like this, only then will you know that Śākya blocked the vital crossing, and Yunmen knew gratitude and understood repayment. Tell me: where does it fall? Do you understand? On the tip of the staff is an eye as bright as the sun; to know true gold, look into the fire."
