3.54

舉佛前有一女子入定。佛勅文殊出定。殊乃運神力。托上梵天。出定不得。佛乃云。下方有罔明大士。能出此定。須臾罔明至。勅令出定。罔明彈指三下。女子便出定。師云。若定若動。當人變弄。鴻毛輕而不輕。大山重而非重。還知老瞿曇鼻孔在我手裡麼。

[Hongzhi] cited: Before the Buddha, a woman entered samādhi. The Buddha ordered Mañjuśrī to bring her out of samādhi. Mañjuśrī exerted his spiritual powers and lifted her up to the Brahmā heaven, but could not bring her out of samādhi. The Buddha then said, "Down below there is the Great Being Wangming, who can bring her out of this samādhi." In an instant Wangming arrived, and was commanded to bring her out of samādhi. Wangming snapped his fingers three times, and the woman immediately emerged from samādhi. The Master [Hongzhi] said, "Whether in samādhi or in motion, the person concerned transforms and plays with it. A goose feather is light yet not light; a great mountain is heavy yet not heavy. Do you know that old Gautama's nostrils are in my hands?"
