圓悟佛果禪師語錄 6.22

6.22

At the invitation of Left Vice Grand Councilor Lü, [the Master] ascended the hall and said: "A single phrase, complete in standard, ought to produce the seal of Vairocana; a single dynamic potential, cutting off all flows, penetrates the ancestral barrier. If one is a person with clear eyes, they have already passed three thousand miles beyond; but if you still linger in seeing and hearing, still stalled in the skin, you cannot avoid going to the gate of the secondary meaning to talk it over again. Therefore it is said: 'Knowing illusion, one immediately leaves it, without employing expedients; leaving illusion is immediately awakening, also without gradations.' The marrow of Old Śākya and the Buddhas of the three times appears all at once; if you just take charge of it like this, the whole mind is Buddha, and the whole Buddha is mind, mind and Buddha without duality—what further do you doubt? Right at just such a time, how do you speak? For a thousand ages, for ten thousand ages, pitch black and murky; filling trenches and stuffing ravines, no one understands."
