圓悟佛果禪師語錄 3.20

3.20

到德山，上堂云：「高懸古鏡，列萬象於臺前；橫按鏌鎁，截群機於句下。開作家爐鞴，奮佛祖鉗鎚，演見性之真風，紹圓明之宗範。直得如天普蓋，似地普擎，頭頭物物，明明了了，要津坐斷選佛場開，到這裏豈可飲氣吞聲，不免借華獻水。大眾！當年見性禪師，據一條白棒，佛來也打，至於隔江搖扇斫木傳心，巖頭雪峯唱末後句，洞山龍牙明殺活機，今古流傳叢林龜鑑。而今堂頭繼此真風，截斷眾流不存涓滴，山僧幸獲觀光，敢問：人境相稱一句作麼生道？五溪清不盡，千古美無虧。」

Arriving at Deshan, [the Master] ascended the hall and said: "Hanging high the ancient mirror, the ten thousand forms are arrayed before the terrace; holding horizontally the Moyé sword, the multiple functions are severed beneath words. Opening the furnace and bellows of an adept, wielding the pincers and hammer of the buddhas and patriarchs, expounding the true style of seeing the nature, and carrying on the lineage model of perfect brightness. It truly covers all universally like heaven, and supports all universally like earth; in each thing and every matter, it is clearly and distinctly known; the vital fords are cut off and the arena for selecting buddhas is opened. Having reached this point, how could one swallow one's breath and keep silent? I cannot help borrowing flowers to offer water. Great assembly! In those years, Chan Master Jianxing relied on a single plain staff, striking even if a buddha came, going as far as waving a fan across the river and chopping wood to transmit the mind. Yantou and Xuefeng chanted the final word; Dongshan and Longya illuminated the dynamic of killing and bringing to life. Transmitted through antiquity and present, these are the turtle mirrors of the monastic groves. Now the abbot continues this true style, severing all streams without leaving a single drop. This mountain monk is fortunate to observe the light of this place, and I venture to ask: what do you say about the single sentence in which person and environment correspond to each other? The five streams are inexhaustibly clear; the ancient beauty is without flaw."
