宏智禪師廣錄 4.3

4.3

師於建炎三年十一月初二日受請。上堂僧問。大白峯頭祥雲冉冉。玲瓏巖畔瑞氣綿綿。如何是最初一句。師云。瑞氣綿綿。進云。此猶是學人道底。師云。爾舌頭是我舌頭。進云。一言該萬象。一句逗群機。師云。是那一句。進云。的的無兼帶。明明不覆藏。師云。須是脚跟點地始得。僧禮拜。

On the second day of the eleventh month in the third year of Jianyan [1129], the Master accepted an invitation. Ascending the hall, a monk asked: “Atop the peak of Great White, auspicious clouds drift gently; beside the Intricate Crag, auspicious vapors extend unceasingly. What is the very first phrase?” The Master said: “Auspicious vapors extend unceasingly.” The monk advanced and said: “This is still what the student has spoken.” The Master said: “Your tongue is my tongue.” The monk advanced and said: “A single word encompasses the myriad phenomena; a single phrase accords with all capacities.” The Master said: “Which phrase is that?” The monk advanced and said: “Direct and distinct, without duality; clear and luminous, not concealed.” The Master said: “You must have your heels firmly on the ground before you can attain it.” The monk bowed.
