宏智禪師廣錄 1.77

1.77

上堂云。未痕青白。豈涉離微。坐斷報化佛頭。不見成住壞相。所以道全身放下。始解承當。作麼生是承當底事。良久云。十洲春盡花彫殘。珊瑚樹林日杲杲。

Ascending the hall, [the Master] said, "Before there are traces of blue and white, how could it involve detachment and subtlety? Sitting through and cutting off the heads of the reward and transformation buddhas, one does not see the phases of formation, abiding, and destruction. Therefore it is said: only when one lays down the entire body can one begin to bear it. What is the matter of bearing it?" After a pause, he said, "Across the ten continents spring has ended and flowers wither away; in the forest of coral trees, the sun is brilliantly bright."
