宏智禪師廣錄 4.249

4.249

解夏上堂舉。洞山示眾云。秋初夏末兄弟或東或西。直須向萬里無寸草處去。天童道。兄弟不東不西。亦須向萬里無寸草處去。既不東不西。為甚麼向萬里無寸草處去。還會麼。去而不去。同風千里。住而不住。一念萬年。恁麼也住無住底功。去無去底相。空谷有神靜而應。孤雲無心動亦閒。所以道。佛身充滿於法界。普現一切群生前。隨緣赴感無不周。而常處此菩提座。如何得恁麼穩密去。偏正不曾離本位。無生那涉語因緣。

Ascending the hall at the conclusion of the summer retreat, he brought up: Dongshan instructed the assembly, saying: "At the beginning of autumn and the end of summer, brothers, you go either east or west. You must go directly to the place where there is not an inch of grass for ten thousand miles." Tiantong says: Brothers go neither east nor west; yet you also must go to the place where there is not an inch of grass for ten thousand miles. Since you go neither east nor west, why do you go to the place where there is not an inch of grass for ten thousand miles? Do you understand? Going without going, of the same wind for a thousand miles; dwelling without dwelling, a single thought for ten thousand years. Being like this is also the merit of dwelling without dwelling, the mark of going without going. The empty valley has a spirit—tranquil yet responding; the lone cloud has no mind—moving yet at leisure. Therefore it is said: 'The Buddha's body fills the dharmadhātu, universally appearing before all living beings. Following conditions, it responds to needs without failing to be complete, yet always abides on this bodhi seat.' How can you attain such secure intimacy? Bias and upright have never left their original positions; how could unborn nature ever touch the causes and conditions of words?"
