圓悟佛果禪師語錄 5.13

5.13

鄆國大王請上堂，僧問：「如何是第一句？」師云：「豈容聲相從君見。」進云：「半夜碧雲籠古殿，天明海岸迸金烏。」師云：「肘臂有符人共看。」進云：「如何是第二句？」師云：「真金須向爐中煆。」進云：「倒騎鐵馬上須彌，踏斷曹溪流水聲。」師云：「正在半途間。」進云：「如何是第三句？」師云：「出草入草要求人。」進云：「妙喜剎中為雨露，無明山上起雲雷。」師云：「分明垂手處，子細好生觀。」師乃云：「至理自調然，千華曾現瑞，無在無不在，十方即目前。若是利根上智，一舉便解承當，既能截斷眾流，可以超今冠古，以如是智以如是力，以如是心以如是願，明同杲日寬若太虛，所以道：『譬如虛空體非群相，而不拒彼諸相發輝。』又道：『若人欲了知，三世一切佛，應觀法界性，一切唯心造。』蓋此清淨本元，離去離來離聲離色，若以真實正見契寂如如，雖二六時中，不思不量無作無為，至於動靜語默覺夢之間，無不皆是本地風光本來面目，現諸祥瑞現諸奇特，皆是從無量無邊劫海薰習種智，從清淨微妙根智如是應現。正當恁麼時如何？無相光中千佛現，一道清虛亘古今。」復舉：「釋迦老子靈山會上說大般若，舍利弗於佛前問須菩提：『夢中說六波羅蜜，與覺時是同是別？』須菩提云：『此義幽深，吾不能說，此會中有彌勒大士，次補佛處，可往問之。』彌勒云：『誰為彌勒，誰是彌勒者？』」師拈云：「還委悉麼？一句當機萬緣寢削。更聽一頌：夢中說法覺無殊，妙用神通不出渠，誰是誰名總彌勒，祥光起處現心珠。」

At the request of the Great Prince of Yun State, ascending the hall, a monk asked: "What is the first phrase?" The Master said: "How could sound and form allow you to see?" The monk continued: "At midnight, emerald clouds shroud the ancient hall; at dawn, the golden crow bursts forth over the seashore." The Master said: "There is a talisman on the elbow for everyone to see." The monk asked: "What is the second phrase?" The Master said: "True gold must be forged in the furnace." The monk continued: "Riding an iron horse backward up Mount Sumeru, treading down to cut off the sound of flowing water at Caoxi." The Master said: "Right in the middle of the road." The monk asked: "What is the third phrase?" The Master said: "Leaving the grass and entering the grass to seek a person." The monk continued: "Within the Abhirati kṣetra, it falls as rain and dew; upon the Mountain of Ignorance, clouds and thunder arise." The Master said: "Clearly the place of letting down hands; observe carefully and well." The Master then said: "The supreme principle is naturally harmonious; a thousand flowers once manifested auspicious omens. It is nowhere and not nowhere; the ten directions are right before the eyes. If one possesses sharp faculties and superior wisdom, at a single lifting one will immediately understand and take it on. Being able to cut off the myriad streams, one can surpass the present and crown antiquity. With such wisdom, with such power, with such a mind, and with such vows, bright as the shining sun and broad as the great void. Therefore it is said: 'For example, the essence of empty space is not the various forms, yet it does not refuse the illumination of those forms.' It is also said: 'If a person wishes to fully know / all the buddhas of the three periods, / they should observe the nature of the dharmadhātu: / all is created solely by the mind.' This pure fundamental source is departed from going and departed from coming, departed from sound and departed from form. If with genuine right view one accords with the quiescence of suchness, then throughout the twelve periods of the day, without thinking or deliberating, without creating or contriving, even in motion and stillness, speech and silence, waking and dreaming, none of it is other than the scenery of the original ground, the original face. Manifesting various auspicious omens and manifesting various extraordinary things, all are perfumed over oceans of immeasurable, boundless kalpas into the wisdom of seeds, and respond and appear thus from the pure and subtle root-wisdom. Right at such a time, what about it? Within the light of formlessness, a thousand buddhas appear; a single path of pure emptiness spans past and present." He then cited: "Old Śākya spoke the Great Prajñā at the assembly on Vulture Peak. Śāriputra asked Subhūti before the Buddha: 'Is expounding the six pāramitās in a dream the same as or different from when awake?' Subhūti said: 'This meaning is profound and deep; I cannot speak it. In this assembly is the Great Being Maitreya, next in line to the Buddha seat; you may go and ask him.' Maitreya said: 'Who is Maitreya? What is Maitreya?'" The Master commented: "Do you fully understand? A single phrase fitting the dynamic, the ten thousand conditions are put to rest. Listen further to a gāthā: / Expounding the Dharma in a dream is no different from waking; / Wondrous function and spiritual powers do not step outside him. / Who is who, what is named, all are Maitreya; / Where the auspicious light arises, the mind-jewel appears."
