圓悟佛果禪師語錄 7.19

7.19

上堂，僧問：「百丈問溈山：『併却咽喉唇吻，作麼生道？』山云：『却請和尚道。』此理如何？」師云：「傍觀者哂。」進云：「百丈云：『不辭向汝道，恐已後喪我兒孫。』為復是答他話？為他說？」師云：「老婆心切。」進云：「五峯道：『和尚也須併却。』意旨如何？」師云：「一箭中紅心。」進云：「百丈道：『無人處斫額望汝。』是肯他？不肯他？」師云：「萬人叢裏奪高標。」進云：「雲巖道：『和尚有也未。』又作麼生？」師云：「拕泥涉水兩三重。」進云：「未審雲巖會了恁麼道？不會了恁麼道？」師云：「與闍黎一般。」進云：「忽有人問和尚：『併却咽喉唇吻，作麼生道？』」師云：「合取。」進云：「恁麼則與雲巖一般去也。」師云：「直截根源人不識，忙忙業識幾時休。」師乃云：「萬仞懸崖撒手，要須其人，千鈞之弩發機，豈為鼷鼠？雲門睦州當面蹉過，德山臨濟誑諕閭閻，自餘立境立機、作窠作窟，故是滅胡種族。且獨脫一句作麼生道？萬緣遷變渾閑事，五月山房冷似氷。」

Ascending the hall, a monk asked, "Baizhang asked Guishan: 'Setting aside throat, lips, and mouth, how do you speak?' Guishan said, 'I ask the Venerable instead to speak.' What is this principle?" The Master said, "The bystander snickers." The monk asked further, "Baizhang said, 'I do not refuse to speak to you, but I fear that later on it would ruin my descendants.' Was this answering his question? Or speaking for his sake?" The Master said, "An earnest grandmotherly heart." The monk asked further, "Wufeng said, 'The Venerable must also set them aside.' What was the meaning?" The Master said, "An arrow hitting the bullseye." The monk asked further, "Baizhang said, 'Where there is no one, I shade my brow and look out for you.' Was he approving him, or not approving him?" The Master said, "Snatching the championship banner amidst a crowd of ten thousand." The monk asked further, "Yunyan said, 'Venerable, do you have them or not?' How about this?" The Master said, "Dragging through mud and wading through water two or three times over." The monk asked further, "I wonder, did Yunyan speak this way having understood, or did he speak this way not having understood?" The Master said, "Just the same as you, Ācārya." The monk asked further, "If someone suddenly asked the Venerable, 'Setting aside throat, lips, and mouth, how do you speak?'" The Master said, "Shut them tight." The monk asked further, "In that case, it is just the same as Yunyan." The Master said, "People do not recognize the direct severing of the root source; when will the hustle and bustle of karmic consciousness ever cease?" The Master then said: "Letting go the hands over a cliff of ten thousand fathoms requires the right person; the release of a crossbow of a thousand jun—how could it be for a field mouse? Yunmen and Muzhou missed it face-to-face; Deshan and Linji hoodwinked the common townsfolk. As for the rest who establish realms and dynamic sharpness, making nests and dens, they truly extinguish the lineage of the Barbarian. And how do you speak a phrase of solitary detachment? The shifts and changes of myriad conditions are entirely trivial matters; in the fifth month, the mountain room is as cold as ice."
