### [4.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.4.16)

上堂云：「千聖不同轍，正體獨露；萬象無所覆，妙用常真。法隨法行，無處不遍，心隨心用，無處不周。若能上絕攀仰，下絕己躬，放出人人常光，目前各各獨露，便可以於一塵中現寶王剎，坐毛端裏轉大法輪，以無轉而轉，即一切皆轉，以無身現身，一切處無不是身，亘古亘今凝然寂照。所以道：『唯一堅密身，一切塵中現。』雖居塵中，而塵中收他不得；雖居四相，而四相羅籠不住。雖一切處覓其纖毫形相，了不可得，然而要用便用，要行便行，亦不於一塵中覓塵，亦不尋其纖毫形相，謂之無生法忍。且只如截斷兩頭一句作麼生道？死生同一際，萬化悉皆如。」

> Ascending the hall, he said: “The thousand sages do not follow the same rut; the true reality alone is exposed. The myriad phenomena leave nothing veiled; the wondrous function is constantly true. Dharma moves in accordance with Dharma, nowhere not pervasive; mind functions in accordance with mind, nowhere not complete. If you can terminate climbing and longing above, and sever the personal self below, releasing everyone's constant light so that before your eyes each is solely exposed, then in a single dust mote you can manifest a jewel king's realm, and sitting inside a hair-tip turn the great wheel of Dharma. Turning without turning, all is turned; manifesting a body through bodilessness, nowhere is not the body; frozen in silent illumination spanning antiquity to the present. Therefore it is said: ‘Only one solid, secret body manifests within all dust motes.’ Although dwelling within dust motes, the dust motes cannot contain it; although dwelling within the four marks, the four marks cannot snare it. Although seeking its slightest form or mark anywhere is entirely unattainable, nevertheless when one needs to use it, one uses it; when one needs to walk, one walks. Neither seeking dust within a single dust mote, nor searching for its slightest form or mark—this is called the forbearance of non-arising of dharmas. And just like cutting off both ends, how do you speak a phrase? / Death and life share the same boundary; / The myriad transformations are all as such.”
