圓悟佛果禪師語錄 9.3

9.3

夾山寺入院小參。師云：「收光攝彩信天真，事事圓成物物新，內既無心外無相，更於何處覓通津。還有透得趙州關底麼？試出眾相。」見問：「承師有言：逶得趙州關，如何是夾山關？」師云：「退身三百步。」進云：「恁麼則九天雲靜鶴飛高。」師云：「豈干闍黎事。」進云：「共相證據也何妨？」師云：「持聾作啞。」師乃云：「牛頭沒，馬頭回，全彰照用；金烏急，玉兔速，略露權衡。透得過底，似虎靠山、如龍得水；透不過底，聞恁麼道，似鴨聽雷鳴，蓋未諳悉，元由一向情存知解。山僧今夜向作家面前，不惜眉毛放行去也。但能上無攀仰、下絕己躬，外不見大地山河、內不立聞見覺知，直下擺脫情識，一念不生，證本地風光、見本來面目，然後山是山、水是水，僧是僧、俗是俗。雖然，莫錯認定盤星，更須知有解黏去縛向上機關始得。且道作麼生是向上事？鵰弓已掛狼煙息，萬里歌謠賀太平。」

Informal gathering upon entering the monastery at Jiashan Temple. The Master said: "Gathering radiance and collecting brilliance, one trusts the innate nature; every affair is consummated, and every object is renewed. When inwardly there is no mind and outwardly no characteristics, where else would one seek a crossing? Is there anyone who has penetrated Zhaozhou's barrier? Step forward from the assembly and let us see." A monk came forward and asked: "I have received the Master's words, 'having penetrated Zhaozhou's barrier.' What is Jiashan's barrier?" The Master said: "Step back three hundred paces." The monk said: "If so, then in the calm clouds of the nine heavens, the crane flies high." The Master said: "What does that have to do with you, Ācārya?" The monk said: "What harm is there in bearing mutual witness?" The Master said: "Feigning deafness and playing mute." The Master then said: "The ox head sinks and the horse head turns back, completely manifesting illumination and function; the golden crow is swift and the jade rabbit is fleeting, briefly revealing the balance beam. Those who can penetrate it are like tigers leaning against mountains, like dragons gaining water; those who cannot penetrate it, hearing such talk, are like ducks listening to thunder, because they are not yet thoroughly familiar with it, originating all along from feelings harbored in intellectual understanding. Tonight, before adepts, this mountain monk does not begrudge his eyebrows and lets things proceed. If only above you have no grasping yearning, below you cut off personal existence, outwardly you see no great earth, mountains, or rivers, and inwardly you establish no hearing, seeing, sensation, or knowing—directly sloughing off emotional consciousness, not giving rise to a single thought—you will realize the original ground's scenery and see your original face. Thereafter, mountains are mountains, waters are waters, monks are monks, and laypeople are laypeople. Even so, do not mistakenly fix the steelyard star; you must further know there is a transcendent dynamic mechanism for unsticking paste and unbinding bonds before it will do. And tell me, what is the transcendent matter? The carved bow is already hung up and the wolf smoke has ceased; songs and ballads over ten thousand miles celebrate universal peace."
