宏智禪師廣錄 3.44

3.44

舉鏡清問靈雲。混沌未分時如何。雲曰。露柱懷胎。清云。分後如何。雲曰。如片雲點太清。清云祇如太清。還受點也無。雲不對。清云。恁麼即含生不來也。雲亦不對。清云。直得純清。絕點時如何。雲曰。猶是真常流注。清云。如何是真常流注。雲曰。似鏡常明。清云。向上更有事否。雲曰有。清云。如何是向上事。雲曰。打破鏡來。與子相見。師云。分與未分。玉機夜動。點與不點。金梭暗拋。直是一色純清。未得十成安穩。且道。打破鏡來。向什麼處相見。還會麼。清秋老兔吞光後。湛水蒼龍蛻骨時。

[The Master] cited: Jingqing asked Lingyun: “How is it before chaos has divided?” Lingyun said: “The exposed pillar becomes pregnant.” Jingqing said: “How is it after it has divided?” Lingyun said: “Like a wisp of cloud dotting the great void.” Jingqing said: “Just as for the great void, does it still accept dotting or not?” Lingyun did not answer. Jingqing said: “If so, then sentient beings do not come.” Lingyun also did not answer. Jingqing said: “When one reaches pure clarity, completely without dots, how is it?” Lingyun said: “It is still the streaming of the true and constant.” Jingqing said: “What is the streaming of the true and constant?” Lingyun said: “Like a mirror constantly bright.” Jingqing said: “Is there still something going beyond or not?” Lingyun said: “There is.” Jingqing said: “What is the affair going beyond?” Lingyun said: “Smash the mirror, and I will meet with you.”
The Master said: “Divided and undivided: the jade loom moves at night; dotted and undotted: the golden shuttle is cast in secret. Even if it is of a single hue and purely clear, it has not attained complete peace and security. And tell me: when the mirror is smashed, in what place will they meet? Do you still understand? After the old hare in clear autumn swallows the light; when the dark dragon in clear water sheds its bones.”
