圓悟佛果禪師語錄 6.26

6.26

趙觀察請，上堂，僧問：「有一句子，從上千聖不曾道著，未審喚作什麼句？」師云：「爾那裏得這消息來？」僧云：「他千聖也不曾恁麼道。」師云：「莫謗他千聖好。」僧云：「寧可截舌，不犯國諱。」師云：「拶破面門猶自不知。」僧云：「未審千聖密祝，用那一句？」師云：「用鼻孔上一句。」僧云：「此一句還該一切也無？」師云：「闍黎不空缺。」師乃云：「當陽直截不昧時機，答去問來全彰奧旨，直得千古萬古只如今，前佛後佛無別道，寬廓無外，大千沙界箇中藏，寂寥非內，香水海裏浮幢剎。若能無彼無此、非色非心，直下坐斷要津不通凡聖，則古釋迦不先，新彌勒不後。只如今人人頂門上，放大寶光，壁立千仞，顯一切妙用神通，挺單提不思議力。正當恁麼時，一句作麼生道？一一山河無障礙，重重樓閣應時開。」

At the invitation of Surveillance Commissioner Zhao, [the Master] ascended the hall. A monk asked, "There is a single phrase that the thousand sages from antiquity have never spoken; may I ask what kind of phrase it is called?" The Master said, "Where did you get this news?" The monk said, "Those thousand sages also never spoke like this." The Master said, "Better not slander those thousand sages." The monk said, "I would rather have my tongue cut out than violate the state taboo." The Master said, "Your face has been smashed, yet you still do not know it yourself." The monk said, "May I ask which phrase the thousand sages used in their secret bequest?" The Master said, "They used the phrase on the nostrils." The monk said, "Does this phrase also encompass everything?" The Master said, "Ācārya, it is not deficient." The Master then said: "Facing directly forward without obscuring the timely dynamic, responding to questions and answers fully reveals the profound purport, directly making a thousand ages and ten thousand ages just like the present, with no different Way for past Buddhas and future Buddhas. Broad and vast without exterior, the worlds of the great trichiliocosm are contained within it; quiet and solitary, not interior, floating banner kṣetras in the ocean of fragrant water. If you can be free of 'that' and 'this', neither form nor mind, and directly cut off the vital ford against both ordinary and holy, then ancient Śākya is not prior and new Maitreya is not subsequent. Right now, on the crown of everyone's head, great jewel light is radiated, towering like a thousand-fathom cliff, displaying all wondrous functions and spiritual powers, holding up the single, inconceivable power. Right at just such a time, how do you express a phrase? Each and every mountain and river is unobstructed; layer upon layer of pavilions open in response to the moment."
