宏智禪師廣錄 4.179

4.179

上堂僧問。龍門一躍雷聲震。宇宙為霖事若何。師云。透得過也未。僧云。直得搖乾蕩坤。振鬣擺尾。師云。也須是箇般人手段始得。僧云。古人道。一雨所滋根苗有異時如何。師云。爾是黃連徹蒂苦。僧云。到者裏請師垂示一言。師云。第一莫要問。第二莫要休。僧云。大千同一潤。萬物盡滋榮。師云。無根樹上。還有些子消息也無。僧云。陰陽不到處。百草盡抽芽。師云。是恁麼始得。師乃云。管籥真風暗度韶。春恩如許在芳條。志公不是閑和尚。柱杖頭邊有剪刀。衲僧家。雖無心而浩浩能應。雖有應而恰恰無為。還能恁麼變通也麼。亡機莫怪冷眉目。得用何妨熱肺腸。

Ascending the hall, a monk asked: "With a single leap at the Dragon Gate, thunder rumbles. What is it like when rain drenches the universe?"
The Master said: "Have you passed through yet?"
The monk said: "It straightaway shakes heaven and overturns earth, fluttering its fins and wagging its tail."
The Master said: "You must have the skill of such a person before you can do so."
The monk said: "An ancient said: 'Nourished by the same rain, roots and sprouts differ.' What about when it is like this?"
The Master said: "You are bitter to the very core, like Chinese goldthread."
The monk said: "Having arrived here, I request the Master to offer a single word of instruction."
The Master said: "First, do not ask; second, do not stop."
The monk said: "The great chiliocosm shares the same moisture; the myriad things all flourish."
The Master said: "On the rootless tree, is there still any news or not?"
The monk said: "Where yin and yang do not reach, all the hundreds of grasses put forth shoots."
The Master said: "Only when it is like this will it do."
The Master then said: "The bellows of the true wind quietly pass along the beauty of spring; spring's kindness is just like this among the fragrant branches. Master Zhi was no idle monk; at the tip of his staff was a pair of scissors. We patch-robed monks, though without mind, can respond boundlessly; though having response, are precisely non-acting. Can you adapt and transform like this? Do not blame cold eyebrows and eyes when functioning ceases; why mind a warm heart and lungs when attaining application?"
