4.17
上堂云。好諸禪德。來來去去山中人。識得青山便是身。青山是身身是我。更於何處著根塵。為諸人拈却面前案山子了也。只如主山頂𩕳上句子。又作麼生道。爾若道得。方知適來恁麼道。猶是客山朝揖邊事。諸禪德。主若不知有客。則無應世之方。客若不知有主。則無出塵之見。且道。理事圓主賓合時作麼生。良久云。還會麼。夜半木人敲月戶。天明鳳子笑㘅華。
Ascending the hall, the Master said: "Fine, good Zen practitioners! Coming and going, the person in the mountains / recognizes that the green mountain is indeed the body. / The green mountain is the body, and the body is me— / where else could root and dust lodge? I have already removed the desk-mountain before you all. But as for the phrase atop the crown of the principal mountain, how would you speak it? If you can speak it, only then will you know that speaking like that just now was still an affair on the side of the guest-mountain paying its respects. Good Zen practitioners! If the host does not know there is a guest, he will have no method to respond to the world. If the guest does not know there is a host, he will have no insight to transcend the dust. But tell me: when principle and phenomena are complete and host and guest unite, what then?" After a long pause, he said: "Do you understand? / At midnight the wooden figure knocks on the moonlit door; / at dawn the young phoenix smiles, holding a flower in its beak."
