大慧普覺禪師語錄 4.17

4.17

上堂，僧問：「具足凡夫法，凡夫不知時如何？」師云：「好箇消息。」進云：「具足聖人法，聖人不會時如何？」師云：「也好箇消息。」進云：「未審是甚麼消息？」師云：「見人空解笑，弄物不知名。」進云：「若不得流水，還應過別山。」師云：「修山主來也。」問：「一人在孤峯頂上，無出身之路時如何？」師云：「好箇消息。」進云：「和尚為甚麼一向壁立萬仞？」師云：「爾試向壁立萬仞處道一句看。」進云：「攪長河為酥酪，變大地作黃金。」師云：「且緩緩。」乃云：「一人在孤峯頂上無出身路，一人在十字街頭亦無向肯，不是釋迦文亦非維摩詰，若向這裏識得渠面目，方識得修山主道。具足凡夫法凡夫不知，具足聖人法聖人不會，聖人若會即是凡夫，凡夫若知即是聖人。還有識得者麼？若識得去，凡夫聖人、孤峯頂上、十字街頭只在這裏；若未識得，放待冷來看。」

Ascending the hall, a monk asked: "When one is fully endowed with the dharmas of an ordinary person, but an ordinary person does not know it, how is it?" The Master said: "Good news." The monk continued: "When one is fully endowed with the dharmas of a sage, but a sage does not understand it, how is it?" The Master said: "Also good news." The monk continued: "I wonder, what kind of news is it?" The Master said: "Seeing people, one only knows how to smile; playing with things, one does not know their names." The monk continued: "If one does not meet running water, one should still cross another mountain." The Master said: "Mountain Master Xiu has arrived!" A monk asked: "When a person is atop a solitary peak with no way to emerge, how is it?" The Master said: "Good news." The monk continued: "Why does the Master consistently stand like a wall of ten thousand fathoms?" The Master said: "Try saying a phrase facing where the wall stands ten thousand fathoms." The monk continued: "Stirring the long river into curds, transforming the great earth into yellow gold." The Master said: "Hold on a bit." Then he said: "One person is atop a solitary peak with no way to emerge; one person is at the crossroads with nowhere to turn. It is neither Śākyamuni nor Vimalakīrti. If here you recognize their true face, only then will you recognize what Mountain Master Xiu said: 'Fully endowed with the dharmas of an ordinary person, an ordinary person does not know; fully endowed with the dharmas of a sage, a sage does not understand. If a sage understood, he would be an ordinary person; if an ordinary person knew, he would be a sage.' Is there anyone who recognizes this? If you recognize it, the ordinary person and the sage, atop the solitary peak, and at the crossroads, are right here. If you have not yet recognized it, leave it until it cools down to look at it."
