圓悟佛果禪師語錄 4.3

4.3

住建康府蔣山。師在潭州道林受請，拈勅黃示眾云：「龍蟠鳳翥，鐵畫銀鉤，出自九重，從天降下，大眾瞻仰，請為敷宣。」拈香祝聖云：「大眾見麼？祖佛同根本，人天共讚揚，結成寶蓋祥雲，共祝南山聖壽。奉為今上皇帝萬歲萬萬歲，伏願道超盤古德冠羲軒，位永固於金輪，壽彌堅於劫石。」遂陞座云：「大眾！時平道泰天清地寧，一人高拱無為，萬物各得其所，普天率土無不承恩，航海梯山均蒙陶鑄，直得塵塵剎剎物物頭頭，放大寶光開正法眼，運般若力復太古風，知恩報恩一句作麼生道？萬靈莫測無為化，處處全開五葉華。」

Residing at Mount Jiang in Jiankang Prefecture. When the Master received the invitation while at Daolin in Tanzhou, he lifted up the yellow imperial decree, showed it to the assembly, and said: "Coiling dragon and soaring phoenix, strokes like iron and hooks of silver, issuing from the Ninefold [Palace], descending from heaven. The great assembly gazes upward; please let it be proclaimed." Holding up incense to bless the Emperor, he said: "Does the great assembly see? The patriarchs and Buddhas share the same root; humans and gods praise them together, forming a precious canopy of auspicious clouds to jointly wish long life to the Emperor, matching the Southern Mountain. Respectfully offered for the current Emperor: may he live ten thousand years, ten thousand times ten thousand years! We humbly pray that his Way surpass Pangu, his virtue exceed Fuxi and the Yellow Emperor, his position be perpetually solidified upon the golden wheel, and his lifespan be ever firmer than the kalpa stone." Thereupon he took the seat and said: "Great assembly! The times are peaceful, the Way is exalted, heaven is clear, and the earth is tranquil. The One Man sits loftily in non-action, and all things each find their proper place. Under the entire sky and across the whole land, there is none who does not receive favor; traversing seas and scaling mountains, all equally partake in the forging. Thus, every dust speck and every realm, every single object and thing, radiates a great precious light, opens the Treasury of the True Dharma Eye, exercises the power of prajñā, and restores the customs of high antiquity. How do you say a single phrase on knowing kindness and repaying kindness? The transformation of non-action cannot be fathomed by the myriad spirits; everywhere the five-petaled flower blossoms in full."
