宏智禪師廣錄 1.165

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [1.165](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.1.165)

上堂云。今日是釋迦老子降生之辰。長蘆不解說禪。與諸人畫箇樣子。祇如在摩耶胎時作麼生。以拂子畫⊙。祇如以清淨水浴金色身時。又作麼生。師畫\[○@水\]。祇如周行七步。目顧四方。指天指地。成道說法。神通變化。智慧辯才。四十九年。三百餘會。說青道黃。指東畫西。入般涅槃。又作麼生。師畫⊕云。若是具眼衲僧。必也點頭相許。其或未然。一一歷過始得。

> Ascending the hall, \[the Master\] said: "Today is the anniversary of the birth of old Śākya. Changlu does not know how to speak Chan, but will draw a figure for you all. Just what was it like when he was in Māyā's womb?" With his whisk he drew \[a circle with a dot in the center\] ⊙. "Just what was it like when his golden body was bathed with pure water?" The Master drew \[a circle enclosing the character 'water'\] \[○@水\]. "Just what was it like when he walked seven steps, looked in the four directions, pointed to heaven and earth, realized the Way, expounded the Dharma, performed supernatural transformations, possessed wisdom and eloquence, and during forty-nine years and more than three hundred assemblies spoke of green and talked of yellow, pointed east and drew west, and entered mahāparinirvāṇa?" The Master drew \[a circle enclosing a cross\] ⊕ and said: "If one is a patch-robed monk with eyes, he will surely nod in approval. If not yet so, one must experience each and every one before it is attained."
