宏智禪師廣錄 4.32

4.32

上堂僧問。萬機休罷。千聖不携底是甚麼人。師云。金剛際下鐵崑崙。進云。從來無伴侶。只麼獨孤標。師云轉側相逢。合談何事。進云。清風拂白月。師云。那時一句子。歷歷要旁提。進云。恁麼則貫古通今。該天括地去也。師云。又是驢前馬後。進云。不落驢前馬後底。又作麼生。師云。古今該不得。天地廓難包。師乃云。好諸禪德。本圓本靈。亙曠古而有種。混太虛而無形。劫外家風澹薄。壺中田地丕平。望時眼力欲斷。體處心緣未萠。雲懷雪意兮鶴夢杳杳。天作秋容兮鴻飛冥冥。唯默默而自照。故湛湛而純清。想凝而結成器界。知覺而流作眾生。情多少而岐分六道。智大小而區別三乘。境真則觸處見佛。道妙而破塵出經。猶明珠而應色。似空谷而傳聲。只如超凡入聖。轉位隨緣。且道。路頭在甚麼處。還體悉得麼。良久云。曉風摩洗昏煙淨。隱隱青山一線橫。

Ascending the hall, a monk asked, "When the myriad mechanisms have ceased and the thousand sages do not accompany, who is that person?" The Master said, "The iron Kunlun below the Vajra Boundary." The monk continued, "Always without companion, standing alone and eminent like this." The Master said, "When meeting upon turning around, what matter should properly be discussed?" The monk continued, "A pure breeze caresses the white moon." The Master said, "At that time, that one phrase must distinctly be raised laterally." The monk continued, "Then it penetrates past and present, encompassing heaven and earth." The Master said, "Again you are before the donkey and behind the horse." The monk continued, "What about that which does not fall before the donkey and behind the horse?" The Master said, "Past and present cannot encompass it; heaven and earth are too broad to enclose it." The Master then said: "Fine, good Zen practitioners! Fundamentally complete, fundamentally numinous, extending throughout antiquity there is the seed; blended with the Great Void, it is formless. The family style beyond the kalpa is plain and simple; the territory within the bottle is vast and level. When gazing toward it, eyesight is about to break; when realizing the place, mental conditions have not yet sprouted. Clouds harbor thoughts of snow, and the crane's dream is far away; heaven puts on an autumn countenance, and the wild goose flies into the distance. Only through silence does it self-illuminate; therefore it is deeply clear and purely limpid. Thoughts congeal and coalesce into the vessel world; awareness flows and becomes sentient beings. Sentiments differ in quantity, dividing into the six paths; wisdom differs in magnitude, distinguishing the three vehicles. When the realm is true, then touching phenomena one sees the Buddha; when the Way is wondrous, then breaking the dust mote brings forth the sūtras. Like a bright pearl responding to colors, like an empty valley transmitting sound. But as for transcending the ordinary and entering the sage, shifting positions and according with conditions—tell me, where is the road? Do you understand thoroughly?" After a long pause, he said: "The dawn breeze sweeps and washes, the murky smoke is cleared away; / faintly, the green mountains stretch across in a single line."
