圓悟佛果禪師語錄 4.13

4.13

上堂云：「格外真乘當陽正眼，騎聲蓋色離見絕聞，非三賢十聖所知，非神通變化所測，撥開向上一竅，威音已前把斷封疆，直饒達磨西來，也無措手足處。到這裏更說心說境，說得說失，得麼掀知有什麼交涉？若是利根漢，一刀截斷不落第二見，不落第二機，直下便承當，豈不省要。乃至若行、若住、若坐、若臥，一香、一華、一瞻、一禮，無不皆從自己流出，無不皆從本有道場中來，以此坐斷報化佛頭，不妨隨時著衣喫飯，三世諸佛只言自知，祖師西來全提不起，一大藏教詮註不及，且道：到這裏作麼生說預作津梁底道理？還委悉麼？片雲點太清，已落第二見。」

Ascending the hall, he said: “The extraordinary true vehicle, the correct eye directly in the open; riding on sound and covering form, transcending seeing and terminating hearing. It is not what the three worthies and ten stages of sages know, nor what divine powers and transformations can measure. Prying open the one transcendent aperture, holding fast the boundaries prior to King of Awesome Voice; even if Bodhidharma came from the West, he would have no place to set hands or feet. Arriving here, to speak further of mind and objects, or speak of gain and loss—how could that have any relevance whatsoever? If you are a person of sharp faculties, sever it with a single blade without falling into a second view or falling into a second dynamic; directly undertake it beneath it—how could that not be concise and essential? Even when walking, standing, sitting, or lying down, with a single stick of incense, a single flower, a single gaze, a single bow, there is nothing that does not flow out from oneself, nothing that does not come from the fundamentally existing place of practice. Cutting off the heads of the reward and transformation buddhas with this, you are free to wear clothes and eat food in accord with the times. The Buddhas of the three periods only said they knew it themselves; the Patriarch coming from the West could not lift it up at all; the teachings of the entire Great Canon cannot explain or annotate it. And tell me: arriving here, how do you speak of the principle of preparing a bridge in advance? Do you understand? / A wisp of cloud dots the vast clarity, / Already falling into a second view.”
