4.17

解夏上堂云:「毫端寶剎寬闊,優游十世隣虛,古今渺邈,洞視不見,徹聽不聞。到這裏,非止善財七日歛念,設使文殊百劫運大智力,起無邊神用,亦不能覷見。只如諸人,九十日間各各於中全體遊歷,出沒卷舒縱橫收放,八穴七穿東涌西沒,儻忽於此知得諦當去,不妨步步踏著實地,心心契證平常;苟或未然,今日布袋口開。還委悉麼?」良久云:「無謂清秋多勝致,低回且復按雲頭。」

Ascending the hall at the conclusion of the summer retreat, he said: “The jewel realm on a hair-tip is vast and broad, wandering freely through the ten periods and adjacent to empty space. Antiquity and the present are boundless and remote; seeing through clearly, nothing is seen; hearing thoroughly, nothing is heard. Arriving here, it is not merely Sudhana gathering his thoughts for seven days; even if Mañjuśrī exercised the power of great wisdom for a hundred kalpas and raised boundless divine functions, he still could not catch a glimpse. Just as you all have individually journeyed with your whole being within it throughout the ninety days, appearing and disappearing, unfurling and rolling up, gathering and releasing freely, passing through eight cavities and seven piercings, surging in the east and sinking in the west—if you suddenly understand it thoroughly here, you are free to step on solid ground at every step, and with every thought realize what is ordinary. If not yet so, today the mouth of the cloth sack is opened. Do you understand?” / After a pause, he said: “Do not say the clear autumn possesses many fine scenes; / Linger a while and rein in the clouds once more.”
