圓悟佛果禪師語錄 9.16

9.16

冬夜小參：「有作思惟，從有心起，一輪生滅；行無間道，修無漏業，萬古超然。拈一放一半開半合，未免在窠窟裏。殊不知，往復無間動靜一如，融大千沙界於一塵，會十世古今於一念，去來起滅甚處安排？春夏秋冬如何理論？到這裏，淨裸裸赤灑灑，沒可把，東西不辨，南北不分底，則故是；未知落處，久參先德脚踏實地，且道正當恁麼時如何？還委悉麼？群陰消剝盡，來日是書雲。」

At a winter night informal gathering: "Conditioned thinking arises from the mind of existence, a single wheel of arising and ceasing; practicing the unimpeded path and cultivating undefiled activity, one is transcendent for ten thousand kalpas. Picking up one and putting down one, half opening and half closing, one inevitably remains within a nest. Little do they know that coming and going are without intermission, movement and stillness are as one; melting the great chiliocosm of sand-worlds into a single dust mote, gathering the ten time-periods of past and present into a single thought—where can going and coming, arising and ceasing, be arranged? How can spring, summer, autumn, and winter be debated? Arriving here, stark naked and clean-stripped, with nothing to grasp, not discerning east from west, nor distinguishing south from north—that is indeed so. If you do not yet know the point of rest, those who have long practiced with former virtues have their feet planted on solid ground; tell me, just at such a time, how is it? Do you understand yet? All the yin has been completely worn away; tomorrow clouds will be recorded."
