圓悟佛果禪師語錄 1.53

1.53

Ascending the hall, the Master said: "A great person possesses great vision; great wisdom attains great function. In the chest one embraces the six directions; in the sleeve hangs a golden mallet. Holding high the ancestral seal, one commands the realm; for ten thousand miles, a solitary radiance perpetually fills the eyes. Thus the pure breeze circles the earth and rain sprinkles the vast sky; severing both ends, one returns home to sit securely. Therefore it is said: 'When it reflects in the eyes, it is like a thousand suns; the myriad phenomena cannot escape their shadows and forms. Ordinary people simply have not yet observed it; why demean themselves and retreat?' Just as the entire ocean of worlds of the Flower Store and to the utter limits of empty space are altogether a single diamond eye, how do you observe it? At the Roushi Ferry, the wind and waves are calm; three by three, two by two, the fishing boats." He stepped down from the seat.
