圓悟佛果禪師語錄 20.36

20.36

Bright is the moon among the trees; / Drifting are the clouds at the horizon. / Coming and going, they are not burdened; / Waxing and waning, they are fundamentally boundless. / Flowing into water, the light is ever pure; / Becoming rain, its intent is uncommon. / Streams and mountains for thousands of miles— / Who would allow debates on their sameness and difference? / At the tip of Kāśyapa's banner pole, / This old fellow once babbled; / Fully understanding how to undertake it, / How have the patriarchs ever differed? / If you wish to clarify this matter, / You must skillfully observe the season and occasion. / When you meet such a person, / Remove the dust from his eyes, / So that before the gate of North Mountain / Cloud-cloaked monks gather like fish scales, / Skilfully displaying vast [means] / To overturn the Black Dragon's lair. / Above the crown of the heads of a thousand sages, / There is a great sky-breaking road; / Only a person without mind / Can take wide strides upon it. / Just like walking on level ground, / Walking a thousand times each day, / Wishing to guide all the world / To go along together like this. / When you let your hands hang down and enter the marketplace, / You must skillfully engage in mutual responsiveness; / Meeting in bustling places, / You should seize the dynamic moment fast. / As if passing through a diamond cage, / Please impart it with all your heart; / Returning to the Hall of Good Dharma, / Strike the great Dharma drum. / Face to face, openly reveal the seals of the three essentials; / With full dynamic function, directly clarify the True Dharma Eye. / Bring it to Jiangxi to manifest the fundamental lineage; / Three days of deafness leaves no tricks remaining. / You must let go of your hold facing the solitary peak, / Regardless of an abyss tens of thousands of yards deep; / If you wish to know how to catch the brocade-scaled fish to your heart's content, / Leap quickly into the terrifying waves.
