圓悟佛果禪師語錄 3.38

3.38

劉提舉請上堂云：「般若智光，破生死昏衢之暗，金剛寶劍，截結使纏縛之憂。透脫處一念無多，受用處通身具眼。直得如天普蓋，似地普擎，如日普照，如風普涼，一絲不移，纖塵不翳。所以道：『一切法不生，一切法不滅。』若能如是解，諸佛常現前。又道：『未達境唯心，起種種分別，達境唯心已，分別即不生。』於分別不生法中，認取不變不移無窮無盡，清淨本然周遍法界本來自性。若了得去，於天地未分生佛未立，乃至劫火洞然大千俱壞，於中無一絲毫動搖，無一絲毫起滅，無一絲毫增減，無一絲毫榮悴。若能恁麼，始知提舉朝議，未嘗滅未嘗虧，未嘗移未嘗去。且獨超物外一句作麼生道？九蓮開合處，百寶自莊嚴。久立珍重。」

Commissioner of Tea and Salt Liu having requested him to ascend the hall, [the Master] said: "The light of prajñā wisdom pierces the darkness of the dim thoroughfare of birth and death; the diamond jewel sword cuts through the sorrow of being bound by fetters and afflictions. Where one penetrates through, not a single thought is redundant; where one enters into function, the whole body possesses eyes. It directly covers universally like heaven, supports universally like earth, shines universally like the sun, and cools universally like the wind; not a thread is displaced, not a speck of dust obscures it. Therefore it is said: 'All dharmas are unborn, all dharmas are unceasing. If one can understand like this, all Buddhas constantly appear before you.' It is also said: 'Not having realized that objects are mind-only, one gives rise to various discriminations; having realized that objects are mind-only, discrimination does not arise.' Within the dharma in which discrimination does not arise, recognize the unchanging, immovable, inexhaustible, endless, purely fundamental, all-pervading original self-nature of the Dharma realm. If you can comprehend this, then before heaven and earth were divided, before sentient beings and Buddhas were established, down to when the kalpa fire blazes and the great chiliocosm is completely destroyed, within it there is not the slightest oscillation, not the slightest arising or ceasing, not the slightest increase or decrease, not the slightest flourishing or withering. If you can be like this, only then will you know that Court Gentleman and Commissioner [Liu] has never ceased, has never diminished, has never moved, and has never departed. Now, how do you say a single phrase that solely transcends external things? Where the nine lotuses open and close, the hundred jewels are naturally adorned. You have been standing a long time; take care."
