圓悟佛果禪師語錄 4.4

4.4

Taking leave of the assembly at Daolin, [the Master] ascended the hall and said: "The ten directions of space are a single bubble—how could there be division into this and that? The great chiliocosm is a single dust mote—how could there be going and coming? If each person can clearly see the original mind and manifest the wondrous function, with abilities that reach heaven, movement and stillness will be as one; with scenery spanning the earth, this and that will not be two. Staying, a floating cloud congeals in a secluded valley; leaving, an empty boat drifts upon the Yangzi River. Leaving and staying are originally fulfilled; in liberation there is no separate road. Thus, it is complete arising and complete cessation, complete movement and complete stillness, complete going and complete coming, complete gathering up and complete letting go. Now, how do you say a single phrase on stepping out the gate? Each and every thing is manifested and present; the true eye directly facing the sun expands across empty space." He added: "For three years, unworthy as I was, I had the fortune to accompany you; my practice of the Way has been neglected, and I am ashamed of my lack of talent. Answering the imperial summons, I go straight beyond the clouds; when will we pace together once again?"
