大慧普覺禪師語錄 9.8

9.8

結夏秉拂：「聲前逈逈一路子，黃面瞿曇不知，一句明明百草頭，碧眼胡兒罔措。鬧浩浩處靜悄悄，靜悄悄處鬧浩浩。直下如王寶劍，誰敢當頭？擬犯鋒鋩，橫屍萬里。更說甚麼，似地擎山，不知山之孤峻；如石含玉，不知玉之無瑕？更說甚麼，香象渡河，徹底截流而過？更說甚麼，全明全暗雙放雙收？須知恁麼來者，寸絲不掛；恁麼去者，堆山積嶽。將錯就錯，以大圓覺為我伽藍，身心安居平等性智，九十日內和泥脫墼。到這裏若有轉身一路，則不守自家活計，豈遵先聖軌儀？所以道：『全鋒敵聖，罕遇知音，同死同生，萬中無一。』且道：同死同生底，是甚面目？」驀拈拄杖云：「趙州和尚來也，金佛不度鑪，木佛不度火，泥佛不度水。」卓一下云：「百雜碎，沒縫罅，明眼衲僧盲聾瘖啞，金剛水際藏身，非非想天走馬，一即一切，一切即一，盡大地是箇解脫門，是人知有。且道：石室行者蹋碓，因甚麼忘却移脚？」良久喝一喝，復舉：「三聖道：『我逢人即出，出則不為人。』興化道：『我逢人即不出，出則便為人。』真淨和尚云：『這兩箇老古錐，竊得臨濟些子活計，各自分疆列界，氣衝宇宙，使明眼人只得好笑。』」師云：「真淨老人大似欺誣亡沒。杲上座即不然，豁開三要三玄路，坐斷須彌第一峯。且道：在三聖分上耶，在興化分上耶？具眼者辯取。」

Wielding the fly-whisk at the beginning of the summer retreat, [the Master said]: "The single path transcending far prior to sound—yellow-faced Gautama did not know it. A single phrase clearly atop the hundred grasses—the blue-eyed barbarian was at a loss. Where it is bustling, it is utterly quiet; where it is utterly quiet, it is bustling. Directly present like the king's precious sword, who dares face it head-on? If you intend to run against its sharp edge, corpses will lie strewn across ten thousand miles. What more need be said of 'like the earth upholding a mountain, unaware of the mountain's lonely steepness; like a stone containing jade, unaware of the jade's lack of flaw'? What more need be said of 'an elephant crossing the river, cutting off the flow completely to cross over'? What more need be said of 'completely illuminating and completely dark, both releasing and both gathering'? You should know that one who comes thus does not have a single thread hanging on; one who goes thus piles up mountains and amasses peaks. Making the best of a mistake, taking the Great Perfect Enlightenment as my monastery, body and mind dwelling peacefully in the wisdom of equality, for ninety days mixing mud and molding unburnt bricks. Coming to this point, if there were a single path of turning around, one would not be keeping to one's own livelihood; how could one be following the standards of the ancient sages? Therefore it is said: 'With all weapons facing the sage, one rarely encounters an intimate friend; dying together and living together, there is not one in ten thousand.' Tell me: the one who dies together and lives together—what face does he have?"
He suddenly took up his staff and said: "Reverend Zhaozhou has come! A gold buddha does not survive the furnace; a wooden buddha does not survive the fire; a mud buddha does not survive the water." Striking once, he said: "A hundred fragments, without a seam; clear-eyed patch-robed monks are blind, deaf, and mute. Hiding the body at the edge of the vajra-water, galloping horses in the heaven of neither-perception-nor-non-perception. One is all, all is one; the whole earth is a gate of liberation, everyone knows it is there. Tell me: when the practitioner of the Stone Room trod the mortar, why did he forget to move his feet?"
After a long silence, he gave a shout, and then brought up: "Sansheng said, 'Whenever I meet someone, I come out; coming out, I do not act on behalf of the person.' Xinghua said, 'Whenever I meet someone, I do not come out; coming out, I immediately act on behalf of the person.' Reverend Zhenjing said, 'These two old awls stole a little bit of Linji's livelihood, and each set up their own boundaries and territories, their vigor piercing the universe, making clear-eyed people do nothing but laugh.'"
The Master said: "Old Man Zhenjing was very much cheating the deceased. Senior Monk Gao would not do so: Opening wide the path of the three essentials and three mysteries, sitting firmly on the first peak of Sumeru. Tell me: is it on Sansheng's side, or on Xinghua's side? Those with eyes, discern it!"
