大慧普覺禪師語錄 19.49

19.49

佛是無事底人，住世四十九年，隨眾生根性，應病與藥，權實頓漸，半滿偏圓，說一大藏教，皆無事法也。眾生無始時來，為心意識之所流轉，流轉時渾不覺知，故佛在般若會上，說諸法空相，謂眼耳鼻舌身意，色聲香味觸法，皆空徒有名字而已，到究竟處，名字亦空，空亦不可得。若人夙有善根種性，只向不可得處，死却心意識，方知釋迦老子道：「始從鹿野苑，終至跋提河，於是二中間，未甞說一字。」是真實語。

The Buddha is a person of no business. Living in the world for forty-nine years, in accord with the capacities of sentient beings, he gave medicine in response to diseases, expedient and real, sudden and gradual, partial and full, biased and complete, expounding the entire Great Canon of teachings, which are all dharmas of no business. From beginningless time, sentient beings have been turned around by mind, intellect, and consciousness; while turning around, they are entirely unaware. Therefore, in the Prajñā assembly, the Buddha spoke of the empty mark of all dharmas, stating that the eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind, and form, sound, smell, taste, touch, and dharmas, are all empty, having mere names and nothing more. Reaching the ultimate point, names are also empty, and emptiness also cannot be attained. If a person inherently possesses good roots and seed nature, he merely puts to death mind, intellect, and consciousness right at the point where nothing can be attained. Only then does he know that old Śākyamuni's statement: 'From the beginning at the Deer Park to the end at the Hiraṇyavatī River, between these two, I never spoke a single word,' is true speech.
