圓悟佛果禪師語錄 18.49

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [18.49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.18.49)

舉：「外道問佛：『不問有言，不問無言。』世尊良久，外道云：『世尊大慈大悲，開我迷雲，令我得入。』外道既去，阿難問世尊云：『外道有何所證？』世尊云：『如世良馬見鞭影而行。』」

> Case: A non-Buddhist asked the Buddha, "I do not ask about words, nor do I ask about wordlessness." The World-Honoured One remained silent for a good while. The non-Buddhist said, "The World-Honoured One's great kindness and great compassion have cleared away the clouds of my delusion, allowing me to gain entry." After the non-Buddhist left, Ānanda asked the World-Honoured One, "What did that non-Buddhist realize?" The World-Honoured One said, "Like a fine horse in the world, he runs upon seeing the shadow of the whip."
