圓悟佛果禪師語錄 8.5

8.5

上堂云：「大眾！眾手共淘金，人人皆有得，霜風襲四圍，天華滿衣裓，大賞不論功，虛空長逼塞，分身千百億，彌勒真彌勒。」復云：「入水須斬蛟，入山須擒虎，才方撲帝鐘，便擊塗毒鼓；一箭落九烏，一捻千鈞土，諸聖和不齊，臘月二十五。」

Ascending the hall, he said: "Great assembly! Many hands panning gold together, everyone obtains something. Frosty wind assaults from all four sides; heavenly flowers fill the folds of our robes. For a great reward, merits are not counted; empty space ever constricts. Dividing the body into hundreds of thousands of kotis: Maitreya is the true Maitreya." He added: "Entering the water, one must slay the flood dragon; entering the mountains, one must capture the tiger. Just as one dashes down the emperor's bell, one beats the poison-smeared drum. One arrow shoots down nine crows; a single pinch weighs a thousand jun of earth. The sages cannot harmonize with it evenly: the twenty-fifth of the twelfth month."
