圓悟佛果禪師語錄 5.8

5.8

Words at Tianning Monastery in Dongjing. Requested by Noble Consort Qiao, ascending the hall, he said: "When a single phrase is fully brought forth, a thousand differences unite; when a single flower opens and appears, ten thousand blessings arrive. Going and returning without break yet having a source, moving and still without shifting yet eternally serene. Everywhere is Buddha; in each thing is the Way. If you have deep faith that reaches this, you will not rely on the remaining power of others; just like a strong warrior bending and extending his arm, this dynamic fully emerges. Whether moving or still, whether emerging or remaining, within the supreme manifesting the supreme, within the extraordinary manifesting the extraordinary, it is certainly not an external condition, but completely receives that one's virtue. Therefore it is said: 'Beings of the realms of devas and humans all receive the power of this grace.' If you recognize this grace, your movements, stillness, and actions across hundreds of thousands of transformations will none of them fall into emptiness. Right at such a time, how do you speak a phrase? Directly manifest throughout the realm without mutual obstruction; folding a thousand times and encircling a hundred turns, it shines with ever greater brilliance."
