宏智禪師廣錄 4.153

4.153

上堂舉僧問雲門。初秋夏末。前路忽有人問。作麼生祗對。門云。大眾退後。衲僧去就。豈用機關。那容體究。蓑翁老熟慣波濤。橈棹不施舡放溜。

Ascending the hall, he cited: A monk asked Yunmen, 'In early autumn at the end of summer, if suddenly someone on the road ahead asks, how should I respond?' Yunmen said, 'Assembly, step back!' The comings and goings of a patch-robed monk—how could they employ contrivances? How could they admit scrutiny? / The old man in the coir cape is deeply seasoned, accustomed to waves and billows; / Without applying oars or paddles, the boat is left to drift with the current.
