圓悟佛果禪師語錄 7.27

7.27

Ascending the hall, [the Master] said, "'Knowing illusions is departing from them, without making up expedients'—take away Mount Sumeru from within the eyes. 'Departing from illusions is awakening, with no gradual stages'—remove the four great oceans from within the ears. Seeing without seeing, the bell rings and the drum sounds, crystal clear; hearing without hearing, the great earth, mountains, and rivers are vivid and distinct. In the field of the unarisen there is sowing and harvesting; the raft of prajñā has ferry and crossing. Leaving all marks aside for the moment, how do you say a phrase prior to King of the Sound of Awe? Stone bamboo-shoots grow in the clouds; blue lotuses emerge from within fire."
