大慧普覺禪師語錄 29.27

29.27

左右彊項中，却有不可思議底柔和，致一言之下千了百當，此事殊勝，若不間於彊項中打發得幾人，佛法豈到今日，非有般若根性，則不能如是，盛事盛事。示諭：「欲來年春夏間，棹無底船，吹無孔笛，施無盡供，說無生話，要了無窮無始、不有不無巴鼻，但請來與這無面目漢商量，定不錯了這話。」又承需道號，政欲相塗糊，可稱快然居士。故真淨老人云：「快然大道只在目前，縱橫十字擬而留連。」便是此義也。某在長沙作久住計，左右他日果從此來，則林下不寂寞也。

Within your unyielding character, you nevertheless possess an inconceivable gentleness, such that under a single word a thousand things are settled and a hundred things are right. This matter is extraordinary! If not for occasionally sending forth a few people from among the unyielding, how could the Buddhadharma have reached this day? If one did not possess prajñā capacity, one could not be like this—a glorious event, a glorious event! You instructed: "In the spring and summer of the coming year, I wish to row a bottomless boat, blow a holeless flute, make inexhaustible offerings, and speak of the unarisen, wanting to settle the basis that is without end, without beginning, neither existing nor non-existing. Please just come to deliberate with this faceless fellow, and surely these words will not be mistaken." Furthermore, having received your request for a religious name, precisely wishing to blur things together, you may be called Layman Kuairan (Self-Pleased). Therefore the Old Man Zhenjing said: / "The blissful Great Way is right before your eyes; / Crisscrossing vertically and horizontally, if you hesitate you linger." / This is precisely the meaning. I intend to stay long in Changsha; if you indeed come this way in the future, then beneath the forest it will not be lonely.
