圓悟佛果禪師語錄 5.7

5.7

Ascending the hall, he offered incense: "This single piece of incense prays for the sacred lifespan of the reigning Emperor to be boundless, ten thousand years, ten thousand years, ten thousand times ten thousand years!" The Master then said: "Entering the gate, one sees it at once, brook no hesitation or deliberation; opening the mouth, one speaks it at once, no longer taking roundabout ways. Even if Sudhana enters Maitreya's tower, he still relies on gathering his thoughts; when Samantacakṣus enters Samantabhadra's marvelous realm, he also borrows spiritual power. Just now, reaching the state of being pierced through in eight places and penetrated in seven, open on all four sides and five directions, penetrating one place makes a thousand or ten thousand places bright; one illumination shines universally over a thousand or ten thousand lights. And how do you speak a phrase on arriving home? Ahead of the wind, there is a path surpassing the Tamer; patting the belly and singing songs, one delights in great peace. There is also a verse: / 'Originally a man of the mountains, / Incompetent, merely keeping to simplicity, / Who would have thought an empty name / Would reach far into the cinnabar phoenix court? / The edict descended to reside at Tianning; / The bamboo palanquin set off by night under the stars. / Arriving in person this morning, / A single phrase has no words to speak.' / Another, another! The Golden Ascetic once leaked it out."
