虛堂和尚語錄 2.47

2.47

師乃舉：「雲門問首座：『山河大地，與自己是同是別？』座云：『同。』門云：『一切物命飛蛾蟻子，與自己是同是別？』座云：『同。』門云：『好好借問，何得干戈相待？』」師云：「雲門易見，首座難見。何故？蓋他不坐在無變異之鄉，所以曰同。」

The master then cited: "Yunmen asked the head monk, 'Are the mountains, rivers, and the great earth identical to or distinct from oneself?'
The head monk said, 'Identical.'
Yunmen said, 'Are all living beings, flying moths, and small ants identical to or distinct from oneself?'
The head monk said, 'Identical.'
Yunmen said, 'I asked you politely; why meet me with shields and spears?'"
The master said, "Yunmen is easy to see; the head monk is hard to see. Why so? Because he does not sit in the realm of non-change, he says 'identical.'"
