圓悟佛果禪師語錄 3.22

3.22

陞座云：「炎炎伏暑離青嶂，肅肅清秋渡碧湘，古殿耽耽松檜密，無塵金地足清涼。既到這裏，還有本色衲僧麼？出來共相證明。」僧問：「黃檗因裴相國，美譽彌高，大顛得韓文公，佳聲逾遠。未審和尚恩歸何人？」師云：「那將魚目比明珠？」進云：「若然者，從此希聲天下聞。」師云：「退身有分。」進云：「今日和尚添得一重光彩。」師云：「什麼處是添得？」進云：「虎頭帶角出荒草。」師云：「切忌合頭語。」師乃云：「法無住相，著相乖宗，道不虛行，隨行得路，須知住中無住，行中無行，寬若太虛、明如杲日，萬象不能藏覆，千聖豈可擬倫，一塵飛而翳天，一芥墮而覆地，一華開而見佛，一葉落而知秋，物物頭頭，明明歷歷，事有千差，理歸一揆，須是通方作者始解證明，不見道：『盡乾坤都盧是沙門一隻眼。』又道：『盡大地撮來，如粟米粒大，非是神通妙用，亦非本體如然。』到這裏，遇緣即宗，隨處應機。且到山一句作麼生道？古殿倚巖腹，新徑繞雲根。」復云：「諸佛不出世，四十九年說，威音已前沒交涉；祖師不西來，少林有妙訣，達磨一宗掃土淨盡。若人識祖佛，渠無面目，甚處識渠，當處便超越。前是三門佛殿，後是方丈寢堂，在右厨庫僧堂，作麼生說當處超越？還委悉麼？撒手到家人不識，更無一物獻尊堂。」

Ascending the seat, [the Master] said: "In blazing midsummer heat I departed the green peaks; / In crisp, cool autumn I crossed the jade Xiang River. / The ancient hall sits majestic, pines and cypresses dense; / The dustless golden ground is full of pure coolness. / Having reached here, is there still a true patchrobed monk? Come forward and bear witness together."
A monk asked: "Huangbo, because of Minister Pei, had his glorious reputation rise ever higher; Dadian, having gained Han Wengong, had his fine renown travel ever further. I wonder to whom the Venerable's debt of gratitude belongs?"
The Master said: "How could one compare fish eyes to bright pearls?"
[The monk] continued: "If so, from now on the rarefied sound will be heard throughout the world."
The Master said: "You have your share of retreating."
[The monk] continued: "Today, the Venerable adds another layer of radiance."
The Master said: "What place is it that adds?"
[The monk] continued: "A tiger's head bearing horns emerges from the wild grass."
The Master said: "Be sure not to use a sentence that merely fits on [like a cap]."
The Master then said: "The Dharma has no abiding characteristics; attaching to characteristics goes against the lineage. The Way is not practiced in vain; following along its practice, one finds the road. You must know that within dwelling there is no dwelling, within moving there is no moving: vast as the great void, bright as the blazing sun. The ten thousand forms cannot conceal or cover it; how could the thousand sages rival or measure it? When a single speck of dust flies, it obscures the sky; when a single mustard seed falls, it covers the earth. When a single blossom blooms, one sees the Buddha; when a single leaf drops, one knows autumn. In each matter and every thing, it is distinct and clear; though phenomena have a thousand differences, principle returns to a single track. One must be an adept of comprehensive mastery to begin to understand and bear witness. Have you not heard it said: 'The entire universe is totally nothing but a single eye of the śramaṇa'? And it is said: 'Gathering up the great earth, it is like a grain of millet; this is not a wondrous function of spiritual power, nor is it the fundamental essence being as it is.' Having reached here, encountering conditions is itself the lineage; responding to dynamic sharpness everywhere. Now then, what do you say about the single sentence of arriving at the mountain? The ancient hall leans against the belly of the cliff; the new path winds around the root of the clouds."
[The Master] spoke again: "The buddhas did not appear in the world; speaking for forty-nine years, it has had no connection since before [the Buddha of] Awesome Sound. The patriarch did not come from the west; Shaolin possessed the wondrous formula; the single lineage of Bodhidharma swept the ground completely clean. If a person knows the patriarchs and buddhas, they have no faces: in what place can you recognize them? Transcending directly on the spot! In front are the triple gate and the Buddha Hall; in back are the abbot's quarters and the sleeping hall; on the right are the kitchen and storehouse and the Monks' Hall. How do you speak of transcending directly on the spot? Do you fully understand yet? Letting go of one's hands and arriving home, nobody recognizes you; there is not a single thing more to offer to the honorable hall."
