大慧普覺禪師語錄 27.21

27.21

示諭：「道契則霄壤共處，趣異則覿面楚越。」誠哉是言，即此乃不傳之妙。左右發意，欲作妙喜書，未操觚拂紙，已兩手分付了也。又何待堅忍究竟，以俟他日耶？此箇道理，唯證者方默默相契，難與俗子言。延平乃閩嶺佳處，左右能自調伏，不為逆順關棙子所轉，便是大解脫人。此人能轉一切關棙子，日用活鱍鱍地，拘牽惹絆他不得，苟若直下便恁麼承當，自然無一毫毛於我作障。古德有言：「佛說一切法，為度一切心，我無一切心，何用一切法。」又懶融云：「恰恰用心時，恰恰無心用，曲談名相勞，直說無繁重，無心恰恰用，常用恰恰無，今說無心處，不與有心殊。」非特懶融如是，妙喜與左右亦在其中。其中事難拈出似人前，所謂默默相契是也。

Your instruction says: 'When the Way tallies, sky and earth share the same dwelling; when the inclinations differ, face-to-face they are as far apart as Chu and Yue.' Truly, these words are authentic! This itself is the unwritten marvel. When you gave rise to the intention wishing to write to Miaoxi, before you grasped the writing tablet and unfurled the paper, it had already been entrusted with both hands. Why wait for enduring perseverance to reach the ultimate in order to wait for another day? This principle is silently tallied with only by those who have verified it; it is difficult to speak of with worldly people. Yanping is a fine place in the ridges of Min. If you can subdue yourself and not be turned by the triggers of adversity and prosperity, you will be a person of great liberation. Such a person can turn all triggers, lively and vibrant in daily life, unable to be constrained or entangled. If you directly take responsibility in this manner, naturally not a single hair will become an obstacle to you. An ancient worthy said: 'The Buddha taught all teachings in order to liberate all minds; I have no mind at all, so what use do I have for all teachings?' Moreover, Lanrong said: 'Precisely when using the mind, / precisely there is no mind to use. / To talk in roundabouts of names and characteristics is tiresome; / speaking directly is without complication. / Having no mind, it is precisely used; / constantly used, it is precisely non-existent. / Now speaking of the place of no-mind, / it is no different from having a mind.' Not only was Lanrong like this, but Miaoxi and you are also within it. The matter within this is difficult to bring out before people; it is what is called 'silently tallying with one another.'
