密菴和尚語錄 1.162

1.162

出鄉歸，上堂：「持鉢去，持鉢歸，草鞋根斷通消息，玲瓏八面盡光輝；遊魔宮，入虎穴，當機撞著惡聱頭，直教心地頓休歇。且據箇什麼道理便乃如是？老不以筋力為能。」復舉：「黃龍南禪師示眾云：『有五種不易：一化者不易、二施者不易、三變生為熟者不易、四端坐喫者不易，更有一種不易是什麼人？』良久云：『𦗚。』便下座。時真點胸作首座，藏主問云：『適來和尚道五種不易是什麼人？』首座云：『腦後見腮，莫與往來。』」師云：「一手不獨拍，兩手鳴摑摑，豁開三要三玄，揑碎佛祖標格。村歌社舞得人憎，勝似當年白拈賊。」

Returning from leaving the countryside, he ascended the hall: “Going out holding the bowl, coming back holding the bowl, / The straps of the straw sandals snap, conveying the message, / Exquisite in all eight directions, shining completely. / Wandering through the demon's palace, entering the tiger's lair, / Encountering an obstinate adversary at the turning point of the pivot, / Causing the mind-ground to rest immediately. / And relying on what principle is it just like this? The old do not take physical strength as their capability.” He also cited: “Chan Master Huanglong Nan addressed the assembly: ‘There are five things that are not easy: first, the one who solicits alms has it not easy; second, the donor has it not easy; third, the one who transforms the raw into cooked has it not easy; fourth, the one who sits upright and eats has it not easy. What kind of person is the one with yet another not-easy thing?’ After a long silence, he said: ‘Shh!’ and descended from the seat. At that time, Zhen Dianxiong was serving as head monk. The director of the canon asked him: ‘Just now the venerable master spoke of five things that are not easy—what kind of person was that?’ The head monk said: ‘When you see his cheekbones from behind his head, do not associate with him.’“ The master said: “One hand does not clap alone; two hands clap loudly together. Opening wide the three essentials and three mysteries, crushing to powder the standards of Buddhas and patriarchs. Village songs and community dances arouse people's disgust, surpassing by far the daylight-robber of bygone days.”
