密菴和尚語錄 1.142

1.142

端午上堂：「五月五日端午節，陰雲靉靆，甘雨未決。君王降賜寶香，林下祈求懇切，孚祐龍善時節，好將一雨潤焦枯，匝地清涼消惱熱。記得僧問乾峯：『十方薄伽梵，一路涅槃門。未審路頭在什麼處？』峯以拄杖子劃一劃云：『在遮裏。』僧後請益雲門，門拈手中扇云：『扇子𨁝跳上三十三天，築著帝釋鼻孔，東海鯉魚打一棒，雨似盆傾。』大眾！乾峯搖頭，雲門擺尾，亘古亘今掛人唇齒；徑山有條攀條。」拈拄杖擲下云：「會看雲雷殷地起。」

Ascending the hall at Duanwu: "On the fifth day of the fifth month, the Duanwu Festival, overcast clouds gather densely, but the sweet rain is not yet decided. The ruler has bestowed precious incense; under the forest, prayers are earnest. May the auspicious dragon assist the season well, bringing a single rain to moisten what is parched and withered, bringing pervasive coolness across the earth to dispel the scorching afflictions. I recall a monk asking Qianfeng, 'The Bhagavats of the ten directions have one road to the gate of nirvāṇa. Where, may I ask, is the beginning of the road?' Qianfeng drew a line with his staff and said, 'It is here.' The monk later requested further instruction from Yunmen. Yunmen took up the fan in his hand and said, 'The fan leaps up to the thirty-three heavens and pokes Śakra's nostril; giving the carp of the eastern sea one strike, rain pours down like from basins.' Great assembly! Qianfeng shook his head, Yunmen wagged his tail, hanging upon people's lips and teeth from ancient times to today. Jingshan follows established precedents." He took up his staff, threw it down, and said: "You will see clouds and thunder rumbling up from the earth."
