圓悟佛果禪師語錄 8.3

8.3

歲旦，上堂：「元正啟祚打開門戶，萬物維新天地同春，應時納祐不落窠臼，罄無不宜萬世一時。孟春猶寒，伏惟首座大眾，起居萬福，乞火和煙得，擔泉帶月歸。」復云：「新年頭有佛法，正是土上加泥；新年頭無佛法，又成當面蹉過。到箇裏，佛法世法有無新舊，一時拈向一邊。且不落夤緣一句作麼生道？還委悉麼？乾坤一合地餬餅，日月兩輪天氣毱。」

On New Year's Day, ascending the hall: "The prime beginning opens good fortune, throwing open the doors. The myriad things are renewed, heaven and earth share in spring. In accord with the season, receiving blessings without falling into conventional grooves, fully fitting in every way, myriad ages in a single instant. The first month of spring is still cold; I respectfully wish the head monk and the great assembly ten thousand blessings in their daily lives. Begging fire, one obtains it along with smoke; carrying spring water, one returns bringing along the moon." He added: "If on New Year's Day there is Buddha Dharma, it is precisely adding mud on top of dirt. If on New Year's Day there is no Buddha Dharma, it turns into missing it right to one's face. Arriving here, Buddha Dharma and worldly dharma, existence and nonexistence, new and old—sweep them all aside at once! And how do you speak a phrase that does not fall into dependent conditions? Do you understand? Heaven and earth in a single embrace: a sesame pancake of earth; the two orbs of sun and moon: a leather ball of weather."
