4.227

上堂舉。洞山問隱山。如何是主中主。山云。長年不出戶。如何是主中賓。山云。青山覆白雲。賓主相去幾何。山云。長江水上波。賓主相見有何言說。山云。清風拂白月。師云。淨不涉緣。照不對物。用無去來之相。混無彼我之心。若能恁麼去。穩穩密密玲玲瓏瓏。還會麼。宛轉虛玄事不彰。明暗只在影中圓。

Ascending the hall, [the Master] brought up: Dongshan asked Yinshan, "What is the host within the host?" Yinshan said, "For years on end, not going out the door." "What is the guest within the host?" Yinshan said, "Green mountains covered by white clouds." "How far apart are guest and host?" Yinshan said, "Waves upon the waters of the Long River." "When guest and host meet, what words are spoken?" Yinshan said, "A clear breeze brushing the white moon." The Master said: "Purity does not involve conditions; illumination does not face things. Function has no aspect of going or coming; blending has no mind of self or other. If one can go on like this, it is secure, dense, clear, and exquisite. Do you understand? Subtle, winding, empty, and profound, the matter is not displayed; light and dark are completely round only within the shadow."
