大慧普覺禪師語錄 5.5

5.5

上堂，僧問：「大梅即心是佛，馬祖非心非佛，阿那箇是？」師云：「兩箇俱是，兩箇俱不是。」進云：「金不博金，水不洗水。」師云：「爾作麼生會？」進云：「千古垂芳孰共知，清風匝地有何極？」師云：「又被風吹別調中。」問：「教中道：『離言說相，離文字相，離心緣相，畢竟平等無有變易。』請和尚離言說相。」師云：「爾只今在甚麼處安身立命？」進云：「與和尚眉毛廝結，問答俱備。」師云：「大好離言說相。」進云：「側側平平題不著，忉忉怛怛語還空。」師云：「剎竿頭上仰蓮心。」乃云：「今朝臘月初一，一年此月將訖，過去現在未來，彈指一時頓入。」乃舉拂子云：「只有這箇不入這保社。為甚麼如此？不見道：能為萬象主，不逐四時凋。」

Ascending the hall, a monk asked, "Damei [held] 'This very mind is buddha'; Mazu [held] 'Not mind, not buddha'. Which one is right?" The Master said, "Both are right; both are wrong." [The monk] advanced and said, "Gold does not barter for gold; water does not wash water." The Master said, "How do you understand it?" [The monk] advanced and said, "For a thousand ages its fragrance spreads, yet who shares in knowing it? The pure breeze circles the earth—how could there be an end?" The Master said, "Blown by the wind into another tune again." [Another monk] asked, "The teachings say: 'Free from the marks of words, free from the marks of letters, free from the marks of mental conditioning, ultimately equal and without change.' Please, Reverend, be free from the marks of words." The Master said, "Where are you settling your body and establishing your life right now?" [The monk] advanced and said, "My eyebrows are tangled with the Reverend's; question and answer are both fully provided." The Master said, "A fine 'free from the marks of words'!" [The monk] advanced and said, "Tilted and flat, it cannot be inscribed; chatter and lament, the words turn back to emptiness." The Master said, "The heart of the upturned lotus atop the monastery flagpole." [The Master] then said, "Today is the first day of the twelfth month; with this month the year will come to an end. Past, present, and future, in the snapping of fingers, all at once enter in." He then held up his fly-whisk and said, "Only this one does not enter this communal pact. Why is it like this? Have you not heard it said: 'Able to be master over the myriad forms, it does not wither following the four seasons'?"
