圓悟佛果禪師語錄 4.32

4.32

錢運使請上堂，僧問：「北山天下呼禪窟，大冶洪爐烹祖佛，玲瓏八面有誰知，一句當機露風骨。忽遇其中人來時如何？」師云：「倚著一邊去。」進云：「恁麼則五鳳樓前聽玉漏，須彌頂上擊金鐘。」師云：「足下雲生。」進云：「低低處平之有餘，高高處觀之不足。」師云：「胸襟流出一句作麼生道？」進云：「覿面相逢，更無回互。」師云：「朝議與儞作證。」師乃云：「祖佛頂𩕳上，單提本分宗乘，萬機不到處，宣布正法眼藏，明明絕回互，歷歷無邊表，一句坐斷千差，一言朝宗萬派，是佛非佛向上向下，權實照用卷舒擒縱，一時拈却，直得淨裸裸赤灑灑，人人常光現前，處處壁立萬仞。所以道：『一切法不生，一切法不滅。若能如是解，諸佛常現前。』不唯諸佛現前，乃至一切有情無情，盡無邊香水海，過現未來，湛然凝寂不變不異，交光相羅如寶絲網。諸人還見麼？須知此一段事，有如是奇特相，有如是解脫力。敢問大眾，且過往八孺人，承箇什麼功力？還委悉麼？國土動搖迎勢至，寶華彌滿送觀音。」

Transport Commissioner Qian requested [the Master] to ascend the hall. A monk asked: "The realm calls the Northern Mountain a Chan cave; the great foundry and vast furnace smelt the buddhas and patriarchs. Exquisite on all eight sides, who recognizes it? A single phrase responding to the potential reveals the wind and bone. When suddenly encountering one from within, how is it?" The Master said: "Lean against one side." The monk advanced: "If so, then before the Five Phoenix Tower one listens to the jade clepsydra; atop Mount Sumeru one strikes the golden bell." The Master said: "Clouds rise beneath your feet." The monk advanced: "In the low places, leveling it leaves a surplus; in the high places, looking at it is never enough." The Master said: "How do you speak a phrase that flows out from your own chest?" The monk advanced: "Meeting face to face, there is no mutual evasion." The Master said: "The Court Gentleman will bear witness for you." The Master then said: "Upon the crown of the head of the buddhas and patriarchs, singly raise the fundamental lineage vehicle; in the place unreachable by ten thousand potentials, proclaim the Treasury of the True Dharma Eye. Clearly without mutual evasion, distinctly without boundaries, a single phrase cuts off a thousand differences, a single word summons ten thousand streams to pay homage to the ancestor. Buddha or non-Buddha, transcendent or descending, provisional or real, illumination or function, rolling up or unrolling, capturing or releasing—all are discarded at once, straightway leaving things stark naked and cleanly bare; in everyone the constant light manifests before them, in every place the cliff stands ten thousand fathoms high. Therefore it is said: 'All phenomena do not arise, all phenomena do not perish. If one can understand like this, all buddhas constantly appear before you.' Not only do all buddhas appear before you, but all sentient and insentient beings, the entire boundless ocean of fragrant water, throughout past, present, and future, are completely clear, motionless, unchanging, and undifferentiated, mutually interlacing their radiance like a precious net of silk threads. Do you all see? You should know that this matter has such extraordinary marks and has such power of liberation. Dare I ask the assembly: what power did the late Eighth Lady rely upon? Do you fully understand? The shaking of the lands welcomes Mahāsthāmaprāpta; precious flowers filling the air escort Avalokiteśvara."
