宏智禪師廣錄 4.193

4.193

上堂僧問。雁過長空。影沈寒水。雁無遺蹤之意。水無沈影之心。未審如何行履。師云。無心道者能如此。未得無心也大難。僧云。鳥道無蹤迹。虛空絕點痕。師云。阿爾又作道理去也。僧云。不作道理。又作麼生。師云。皓玉本無瑕。彫文喪君德。師乃云。歸根得旨。葉落知秋。拈得鼻孔。失却舌頭。照徹三世佛之頂𩕳。把定歷代祖之襟喉。玉井涵碧。氷壺斷流。諸法空寂為之座。是須坐處不停囚。

Ascending the hall, a monk asked: "When the wild goose crosses the vast sky, its shadow sinks in the cold water. The goose has no intention to leave a trace; the water has no mind to submerge the shadow. I wonder: how does one practice?"
The Master said: "A person of the Way without mind can be like this; before attaining no-mind, it is indeed very difficult."
The monk said: "On the bird's path there are no footprints; empty space is devoid of a single speck."
The Master said: "You are making intellectualizations again."
The monk said: "If one does not make intellectualizations, what then?"
The Master said: "Flawless jade originally has no blemish; carving patterns destroys the gentleman's virtue."
The Master then said: "Returning to the root, one attains the principle; when leaves fall, one knows autumn. Grasping the nostrils, one loses the tongue. Thoroughly illuminating the crown of the head of the buddhas of the three periods, seizing the throats of the ancestral masters of past generations. The jade well contains azure; the ice vase cuts off the flow. Taking the emptiness and silence of all phenomena as one's seat, at the place where one sits, one must not halt prisoners."
