大慧普覺禪師語錄 2.49

2.49

上堂：「身口意清淨，是名佛出世，身口意不淨，是名佛滅度，我今為汝保任此事，終不虛也。且作麼生是此事？又作麼生保任？豈不見，僧問歸宗：『如何是佛？』宗云：『我向汝道，汝還信否？』僧云：『和尚誠言，安敢不信。』宗云：『即汝便是。』僧云：『如何保任？』宗云：『一翳在眼，空華亂墜。』」師云：「歸宗放去太危，收來太速，這僧當時若拍手呵呵大笑一巡，歸宗老漢向甚處著這面目？敢問諸人，而今合作麼生？一氣不言含有象，萬靈何處謝無私。」

Ascending the hall, [the Master said]: "Purity of body, speech, and mind is termed the Buddha appearing in the world; impurity of body, speech, and mind is termed the Buddha entering extinction. I now maintain this matter for you; it is never in vain. But what is this matter? And how do you maintain it? Have you not seen: a monk asked Guizong, 'What is the Buddha?' Guizong said, 'If I tell you, will you believe it?' The monk said, 'The Venerable's words are sincere; how would I dare not believe?' Guizong said, 'It is none other than you.' The monk said, 'How do I maintain it?' Guizong said, 'A single speck in the eye, and flowers in the sky fall in confusion.'" The Master said, "Guizong let go too perilously and pulled back too swiftly. If that monk at that moment had clapped his hands and laughed aloud in ha-ha for a round, where would that old fellow Guizong have put his face? I dare ask you all, right now what should be done? / One breath without speaking encompasses all forms; / Where can the myriad spirits offer thanks for impartiality?"
