密菴和尚語錄 1.331

1.331

得之於心，應之於手，如珠走盤，不撥自轉。二六時中折旋俯仰，入魔宮探虎穴，上刀山攀劍樹，乃是當人著著得力行履處。便能以此心入紅塵堆裏，逆順界中，與一切人和泥合水、拔楔抽釘，令他不覺不知。驀地見徹本心，悟其本性不在內、不在外、不在中間，人人鼻孔遼天，箇箇壁立萬仞，方敢稱為行脚道流。若只守一機一境，終日冷湫湫地打坐等箇悟來，便是喪達磨正宗魔子也。宜善思之。

Attained in the mind, it responds at the hands, like a pearl rolling in a dish, turning of itself without being nudged. In the twelve two-hour periods, bending and turning, bowing down and looking up, entering the demon king's palace to probe the tiger's cave, climbing mountains of swords and scaling trees of daggers—this is the place where one's steps are genuinely effective. Then one can enter with this mind into the heap of worldly dust, amid adverse and favourable realms, mixing mud with water alongside all people, pulling out wedges and extracting nails, causing them to be unaware and unknowing. Suddenly thoroughly seeing the fundamental mind and awakening to one's fundamental nature as not being inside, not being outside, and not being in the middle—with everyone's nostrils reaching the heavens and each person standing like a cliff of ten thousand fathoms—only then does one dare to be called a traveler of the Way on pilgrimage. If one merely clings to a single dynamic or a single realm, sitting all day in cold stillness waiting for an awakening to arrive, then one is a demonic spawn who ruins the orthodox lineage of Bodhidharma. You should reflect upon this carefully.
