圓悟佛果禪師語錄 11.11

11.11

Requested by Ji Difu to give an informal gathering, [the Master] said: "Suddenly matching each other, the entire capacity is independently verified; eye to eye reflecting each other, heart to heart knowing each other—none of this is obtained from elsewhere, but completely flows out from within one's own chest. Just at such a time, all phenomena of the universe are the ancient Buddha's family style; the azure sky and blue heavens are the person of the Way's livelihood. Opening one's own treasury, bringing forth one's own family property, sharing the same virtue and sincerity with the Buddhas and Patriarchs, wielding and releasing together with Vimalakīrti and Layman Pang, sharing the same dynamic function and the same objective illumination with Prime Minister Pei and Attendant Wang, there is nothing else: cutting off the road of birth and death, smashing the nest of defilements—it does not take more than a single phrase. And tell me: which phrase is it? Do you fully understand yet? Transcending aloof, directly penetrating beyond Bhīṣmagarjitasvararāja; / Before the eyes, not a single phenomenon can be deliberated."
