圓悟佛果禪師語錄 7.6

7.6

Ascending the hall, he said, "Hearing with the ears is not like seeing with the eyes; discerning with the eyes is not like engaging directly with the hands. The Yunju in the heavens among the four hundred prefectures—today the bamboo litter has arrived here in person. Crags and peaks encircle, forested ridges loom steep; deep in the white clouds, pavilions and towers appear, as though another world had been created. Arriving here, one need not plumb the profound or speak of the wondrous, establish realms or set up dynamic actions, discuss the nature or discuss the mind, investigate principle or investigate phenomena. Just now, on each person's part, cut off everything! Just at such a time, how do you utter the phrase of having arrived in person? The profound mystery of Buddhas and Patriarchs is plumbed to the bottom; deep in the white clouds is a fine place to dwell in peace." He added, "Granted Yunju to nourish this ailing body, / Five hundred patch-robed monks become doubly close. / Clambering up creepers straight into the blue heavens, / In old age I dwell relying on the spirit of peace and joy."
