宏智禪師廣錄 1.192

1.192

小參云。好兄弟。虛而靈空而妙。用處不勤勤。寂時還皎皎。據一如之本源。當千差之會要。箇中人無正倒。不病不死。不生不老。唯自證以相應。非思惟而能到。古渡風清一片秋。月色江光冷相照。復舉洞山和尚在疾。僧問和尚病。還有不病者麼。山云有。僧云。不病者還看和尚也無。山云。老僧看他有分。僧云。和尚看他時如何。山云。則不見有病者。師云。既不見有病。則不見有死。亦不見有生。亦不見有老。四相不能遷。三世不能轉。正恁麼時。且作麼生看他。良久云。還相委悉麼。撥開妙淨圓明眼。識取吉祥安樂人。

At an informal gathering he said: Good brothers! Void yet numinous, empty yet marvelous. Where it functions, it is not rushed; when it is quiet, it remains bright and clear. Occupying the fundamental source of one suchness, it meets the essential juncture of thousands of differences. A person within this is free of the upright and the reversed, free of sickness and death, free of birth and old age. Realized only through personal verification in accord with it, it is not to be reached by thinking. At the ancient ferry, the wind is pure in the autumn expanse; moonbeams and river light coldly illuminate each other. He further cited: Reverend Dongshan was ill. A monk asked, "The Reverend is ill; is there anyone who is not ill?" Dongshan said, "There is." The monk said, "Does the one who is not ill look at the Reverend?" Dongshan said, "This old monk has the share of looking at him." The monk said, "How is it when the Reverend looks at him?" Dongshan said, "Then I do not see that there is one who is ill." The Master said: Since he does not see that there is sickness, he does not see that there is death, nor does he see birth, nor does he see old age. The four marks cannot alter him; the three times cannot turn him. Just at such a time, how do you look at him? After a long pause, he said: Do you thoroughly understand? Open wide the wondrous, pure, completely luminous eye, and recognize the auspicious person of ease and joy.
