圓悟佛果禪師語錄 7.33

7.33

中秋上堂，僧問：「黃龍三關即不問，如何是楊岐栗棘蓬？」師云：「天下人吞不得。」進云：「和尚還吞得也無？」師云：「老僧是第一箇吞不得底。」進云：「既是吞不得，將何為人？」師云：「終不敢孤負楊岐。」進云：「如何是金剛圈？」師云：「闍黎盡伎倆，百年透不出。」進云：「忽遇箇漢出來道：『盡是閑言語。』又作麼生？」師云：「一任𨁝跳。」進云：「這老和尚今日稍有些子相為。」師云：「且莫冬瓜印子。」師乃云：「秋半西風急，當空月正圓，蕭蕭木葉落，湛湛露珠懸，嘹唳衝雲雁，凄清抱樹蟬，頭頭渾漏泄，切忌覓幽玄。」

Ascending the hall at Mid-Autumn, a monk asked: "Leaving aside the three barriers of Huanglong, what is Yangqi's chestnut burr?" The Master said: "No one in the world can swallow it." The monk continued: "Can the Venerable Monk swallow it or not?" The Master said: "This old monk is the foremost among those who cannot swallow it." The monk asked: "Since you cannot swallow it, how do you help others?" The Master said: "In the end I would never dare betray Yangqi." The monk asked: "What is the diamond cage?" The Master said: "Though you exhaust your tricks, Ācārya, in a hundred years you will not break through." The monk asked: "If suddenly someone comes forward and says, 'This is all idle talk,' what then?" The Master said: "Let him leap about as he pleases." The monk said: "Today this old Venerable is showing a bit of accommodating goodwill." The Master said: "Don't go stamping winter melons!" The Master then said: "Midway through autumn, the west wind blows sharp; / high in the sky, the moon is round. / Rustling, the leaves fall from the trees; / glistening, drops of dew hang clear. / Resounding shrill, wild geese pierce the clouds; / sorrowful and clear, cicadas cling to the trees. / Every single thing completely leaks it out; / by all means avoid searching for the obscure and mysterious!"
