宏智禪師廣錄 1.183

1.183

師小參示眾云。兄弟機絲不掛。木人暗擲金梭。文彩未彰。石女先提玉印。妙明田地。豈涉春緣。虛瑩亭堂。寧關曉意。正非孤立。風前月樹猿啼。偏豈單行。煙外滄洲鷺宿。光裡鋒鋩未兆。隱時頭角崢嶸。叶通兼帶纔疎。便見犯鋒傷手。六門機息。是須宛轉傍參。一色功圓。切忌當頭印破。夢手推開月戶。轉身撥側玉輪。方能出自胸襟。始免坐他床榻。泥牛運步。已萠建化之緣。木馬嘶風。便是利生邊事。如何履踐得恁麼相應去。良久云。還會麼。釣絲午夜休拈弄。風拭湖光水月秋。

The master gave an informal gathering to instruct the assembly, saying: "Brothers, the loom-threads do not catch: the wooden figure secretly casts the golden shuttle. Before the decorative pattern is manifest, the stone woman first lifts the jade seal. How could the wondrously bright ground involve spring conditions? How could the empty and lustrous pavilion pertain to morning sentiments? The upright is not isolated: before the wind, in the moonlit trees, apes cry. How could the biased walk alone? Beyond the mist, on the grey islet, egrets roost. Within the light, no sharp tip is yet presaged; when concealed, its horns tower prominently. If combining and harmonizing are the least bit neglected, you will immediately see yourself meeting the blade and wounding your hands. When the function of the six sense-gates ceases, you must flexibly approach from the side. When the merit of one color is complete, be most careful not to stamp through it straight on. With a dreaming hand, push open the moonlit door; turning the body, tilt the jade wheel aside. Only then can it emerge from your own breast; only then do you avoid sitting on another's bed. The mud ox taking steps already sprouts the conditions for establishing transformation; the wooden horse neighing into the wind is precisely the matter of benefiting sentient beings. How can one tread so as to attain such correspondence?" / After a long pause, he said, "Do you understand? / At midnight, stop playing with the fishing line; / The wind polishes the lake's light, water and moon in autumn."
