圓悟佛果禪師語錄 2.38

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [2.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.2.38)

上堂云：「太虛寥廓萬彙森然，正眼洞明纖毫不立，孤峻處祖師莫近，坦夷處人天共知，擊開大解脫門，識取無面目底。且作麼生是無面目底？芍藥華開菩薩臉，椶櫚葉現夜叉頭。」

> Ascending the hall, he said, "The great void is vast and expansive, the myriad phenomena are dense and luxuriant; the upright eye is thoroughly clear, not establishing a single speck of dust. In the solitary and precipitous place, Patriarchs cannot approach; in the level and even place, humans and devas all know. Strike open the great liberation gate and recognize the one without features! And what is the one without features? Peony blossoms bloom as a bodhisattva's face; / Palm leaves reveal a yakṣa's head."
