4.229

到吉祥上堂。僧問。澄源湛水。尚棹孤舟。攂鼓轉船頭。向甚麼處去。師云。明月墮寒空。青天沒飛鳥。僧云。恁麼則洗脚上船去也。師云。到家一句作麼生道。僧云。待到玲瓏巖下。即向和尚道。師云。猶隔津在。僧禮拜。師乃云。輕煙羃羃衲僧家。節物迎春氣象華。流水落華無限意。游山消息付長沙。記得。長沙一日游山歸。首座問。甚處去來。沙云。游山來。座云。到甚麼處。沙云。始隨芳草去。又逐落華回。座云。大似春意。沙云。也勝秋露滴芙蕖。師云。身心一如。物我同體。不用轉山河大地歸自己。亦不用將自己作山河大地。如珠發光。光還自照。一切時一切處。如何得恁麼見成受用去。還會麼。千峯勢到嶽邊止。萬波聲歸海上消。

Ascending the hall upon arriving at Jixiang: A monk asked, "On the clear source and tranquil water, one still rows a solitary boat. Beating the drum and turning the prow, where are you going?" The Master said, "The bright moon falls into the cold sky; in the blue sky, there are no flying birds." The monk said, "If so, then I shall wash my feet and board the boat." The Master said, "How do you speak the phrase of arriving home?" The monk said, "Wait until I reach beneath the Exquisite Cliff, then I will say it to the Venerable." The Master said, "You are still separated by the ford." The monk made prostrations. The Master then said: "Light smoke is dense and thick over the patch-robed monk's home; the seasonal sights welcome spring with flourishing vigor. Flowing water and falling blossoms have infinite meaning; news of roaming the mountains is entrusted to Changsha. Remember: one day Changsha returned from roaming the mountains. The head monk asked, 'Where have you come from?' Changsha said, 'I have come from roaming the mountains.' The head monk said, 'Where did you reach?' Changsha said, 'First I followed the fragrant grasses away, and then I pursued the falling flowers back.' The head monk said, 'That is very much like the spirit of spring.' Changsha said, 'It also surpasses the autumn dew dripping on lotuses.'" The Master said: "Body and mind are as one; things and self are of the same substance. There is no need to turn the mountains, rivers, and great earth back into oneself, nor is there need to make oneself into the mountains, rivers, and great earth. Like a pearl giving off light, the light in turn illuminates itself. At all times and in all places, how can you receive and use it ready-made in such a way? Do you understand? The momentum of a thousand peaks halts beside the great mountain; the sound of ten thousand waves dissolves upon returning to the sea."
