宏智禪師廣錄 6.11

6.11

冲虛淨怕。寒淡純真。恁麼打疊了多生陳習。陳習垢盡。本光現前。照破髑髏。不容他物。蕩然寬濶。如天水合秋。如雪月同色。箇田地。無涯畛絕方所。浩然一片無稜縫。更須向裏脫盡始得。正脫盡時。心思口議。千里萬里。尚無辨白底道理。更那有指註處也。桶底脫漢。方信得及。所以道。唯證相應。相應處撥得。轉入得世。遊戲三昧。歷歷現前。聲色影響。直下無迹。彼我不相往來。只為其中無受處。只箇無受處。包含虛空法界森羅萬象。無一點遺漏底。本色漢。當恁麼體究。

Spacious and empty, pure and serene; cold, plain, and purely genuine. When the accumulated habits of many lifetimes are cleared away in this manner, and the defilements of past habits are exhausted, original light appears before you, illuminating and shattering the skull, admitting no other thing. Vast and expansive, like sky and water merging in autumn, like snow and moon sharing the same color. This field has no boundaries and transcends spatial locations; vast as a single sheet, it has neither seam nor joint. You must further shed everything inward to attain it. At the very moment of shedding everything, thought and speech are a thousand, ten thousand leagues away; there is not even any principle to discern, so how could there still be any place to point out? Only a fellow whose bucket bottom has fallen out can thoroughly believe in this. Therefore it is said: 'Only realization is in accord.' Right where there is accord, one can stir and turn, enter the world, and playfully roam in samādhi, appearing distinctly before you. Sounds and forms, shadows and echoes, are directly traceless. That and this do not come and go, solely because within it there is no place to receive. This very absence of a place of reception encompasses empty space, the Dharma realm, and the dense array of myriad phenomena, without leaving out a single bit. A fellow of genuine color should investigate and realize in this way.
