大慧普覺禪師語錄 12.164

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [12.164](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.12.164)

以火炬指龕云：「這箇是已滅底法燈。」復舉起火炬云：「這箇是無漏底智火。」無漏智火然法燈，然也滅也無不可燈。監寺還知麼？灰飛煙滅後，優曇華一朵。

> Pointing to the shrine with the torch, he said: 'This is the Dharma-Lamp that has already been extinguished.' He raised the torch again and said: 'This is the fire of undefiled wisdom.' The fire of undefiled wisdom lights the Dharma-lamp; whether lighted or extinguished, nothing is inadmissible. Temple Director, do you understand? After the ashes fly and the smoke disperses, a single udumbara blossom.
