圓悟佛果禪師語錄 20.149

### [20.149](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.20.149)

釋迦雙樹示寂，偃臥吉祥；法真智海告終，端坐行上。四十年道價，七十一生緣，德播寰中，聲馳海外，人天敬仰，朝野傾崇。比望永作梯航，長光佛祖；豈期忙中縮手，鬧裏抽身。最後皇都大作佛事，今則未埋玉樹，先入雲龕。公案現成，須至一決，大眾因行，不妨掉臂，伎倆不如帳樣，為瑞為祥，無邊無量，請老和尚且出方丈。

> Śākyamuni showed extinction between the twin trees, reclining in the auspicious posture; Fazhen of Zhihai has concluded his work, sitting erect upon his seat. For forty years his reputation in the Way stood high; in his seventy-first year his life's conditions ended. His virtue spread throughout the realm; his fame galloped beyond the seas. Men and devas looked up to him with reverence; court and commonalty bowed down in veneration. We had hoped he would forever serve as a raft and bridge, perpetually glorifying the buddhas and ancestors; how could we have expected him to withdraw his hand in the midst of busyness, pulling himself away from the hustle and bustle? At last, in the imperial capital, he conducted great Buddhist affairs; now, before the jade tree is buried, he first enters the cloud casket. The gong'an is ready-made; a decisive settlement must be made. Since the great assembly is already on the march, feel free to swing your arms; if one's tricks do not match the ledger, they become omens and auspicious signs, boundless and limitless. We ask the venerable master to step forth from the abbot's quarters.
