宏智禪師廣錄 1.162

1.162

上堂云。麟龍不為瑞。珠璧不為貴。衲僧眼豁開。徹見生死蔕。生死蔕。第一義。諸佛心。祖師鼻。少林傳燈。靈山授記。隨高隨下。何此何彼。假諸因緣。神通游戲。有時五教三椉。有時三德六味。有時屋裡主財。有時門頭了事。處處清白家風。人人見成活計。正恁麼時。且道。作麼生是見成受用底。還體悉得麼。良久云。風行草偃。水到渠成。

Ascending the hall, [the Master] said: "The unicorn and dragon are not deemed auspicious; pearls and jade discs are not deemed precious. When the patch-robed monk's eyes are wide open, he sees through to the stem of birth and death. The stem of birth and death: the primary meaning, the Buddhas' mind, the ancestral masters' nose. Shaolin transmits the lamp; Vulture Peak confers predictions. Accord with high, accord with low; what is this, what is that? Borrowing various causes and conditions, playing in supernatural powers. Sometimes five teachings and three vehicles; sometimes three virtues and six flavors. Sometimes the host managing wealth inside the house; sometimes concluding affairs at the front gate. Everywhere is the pure and spotless family style; in everyone is the ready-made livelihood. Right at such a time, tell me: what is that which is ready-made and enjoyed? Can you still understand it thoroughly?" After a long pause, he said: "The wind blows and the grass bends; when water arrives, a ditch is formed."
