圓悟佛果禪師語錄 2.9

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [2.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.2.9)

上堂云：「禪非意想，立意乖宗；道絕功勳，建功失旨。聞清聲外句，莫向意中求。轉照用機關，柄佛祖鉗鎚，有佛處互為賓主，無佛處風颯颯地，心寧意泰、響順聲和。似恁麼人，且道：向什麼處安著？披簑側立千峯外，引水澆蔬五老前。」下座。

> Ascending the hall, the Master said, "Chan is not conceptual thought; establishing intentions goes against the lineage. The Way is beyond meritorious labor; setting up accomplishments loses the essential purpose. Hear the phrase outside the clear sound; do not seek within thought. Turning the mechanisms of illumination and function, wielding the hammer and tongs of the Buddhas and patriarchs: where there are Buddhas, mutually acting as host and guest; where there are no Buddhas, the wind howls soughingly. The mind is tranquil and the intent at peace; the echo is compliant and the voice harmonious. For such a person, tell me: where do you place him? Wearing a coir raincoat, standing askance beyond a thousand peaks; / Drawing water to irrigate vegetables before the Five Old Peaks." He stepped down from the seat.
