大慧普覺禪師語錄 8.12

8.12

浴佛示眾：「末後一句子，聲前露裸裸，蓋天蓋地，蓋聲蓋色，黃面老子得箇一著子，便道：『未離兜率已降王宮，未出母胎度人已畢。』及至初生，則震動一切世界網，便一手指天一手指地，作大師子吼道：『天上天下惟我獨尊。』為一大事因緣故，開佛知見，示佛知見，悟佛知見，入佛知見。殊不知，數千年後被箇跛脚阿師要一棒打殺與狗子喫，貴圖天下太平。且道：釋迦老子過在甚麼處？莫是指天指地開大口麼？莫是不合鼓弄人家男女麼？莫是開佛知見、示佛知見、悟佛知見、入佛知見麼？若恁麼商量，不唯謗他釋迦老子，亦乃辜負雲門大師。到這裏，若知雲門落處，即知自己落處。且道：落在甚麼處？」良久云：「萬古碧潭空界月，再三撈摝始應知。」復舉：「僧問五祖：『如何是佛？』祖云：『露胸跣足。』『如何是法？』云：『大赦不放。』『如何是僧？』云：『釣漁船上謝三郎。』」師云：「此三轉語，一轉具三玄三要、四料揀、四賓主，洞山五位、雲門三句，百千法門無量妙義。若人揀得，許爾具一隻眼。」

On the occasion of bathing the Buddha, he instructed the assembly: "The very last phrase is completely naked before sound, covering heaven and earth, covering sound and form. The yellow-faced old man attained this one move and immediately said: 'Before leaving Tuṣita, I had already descended into the royal palace; before emerging from the mother's womb, the salvation of people was already finished.' And when first born, he shook all the world nets, then with one hand pointing to heaven and one hand pointing to earth, he gave a great lion's roar, saying: 'Above heaven and below heaven, I alone am revered.' For the sake of the one great causal matter, he opened the buddha's knowledge and vision, showed the buddha's knowledge and vision, awakened to the buddha's knowledge and vision, and entered the buddha's knowledge and vision. Little did he know that several thousand years later, a lame-legged master would want to strike him dead with a single blow of his staff and give him to the dogs to eat, all for the sake of peace under heaven!

Tell me: where was Old Man Śākya's fault? Could it be pointing to heaven and pointing to earth and opening a big mouth? Could it be inappropriately provoking other people's sons and daughters? Could it be opening the buddha's knowledge and vision, showing the buddha's knowledge and vision, awakening to the buddha's knowledge and vision, and entering the buddha's knowledge and vision? If you deliberate like this, not only do you slander Old Man Śākya, you also fail Great Master Yunmen. Arriving here, if you know Yunmen's resting place, you know your own resting place. Tell me: where does he rest?"

After a long pause, he said: "The moon in the realm of space over the eternal jade-green pool— / Only after repeatedly dredging will you finally know." He further cited: "A monk asked Wuzu: 'What is the Buddha?' The Patriarch said: 'Bare-chested and barefoot.' 'What is the Dharma?' He said: 'Not releasing [the prisoner] even during a general amnesty.' 'What is the Saṅgha?' He said: 'Xie Sanlang on the fishing boat.'"

The Master said: "These three turning phrases: each turning phrase is endowed with the Three Mysteries and Three Essentials, the Four Selections, the Four Hosts and Guests, Dongshan's Five Ranks, Yunmen's Three Phrases, hundreds of thousands of dharma-doors, and immeasurable wondrous meanings. If someone can pick them out, I will grant that you possess a single eye."
