宏智禪師廣錄 6.13

6.13

默默自住。如如離緣。豁明無塵。直下透脫。元來到箇處。不是今日新有底。從舊家曠大劫前。歷歷不昏。靈靈獨耀。雖然恁麼。不得不為。當恁麼為時。直教一毫不生。一塵不翳。枯寒大休。廓徹明白。若休歇不盡。欲到箇境界出生死。無有是處。直下打得透。了無思塵。淨無緣慮。退步撒手。徹底了也。便能發光應世。物物相投。處處恰好。所以道。法法不隱藏。古今常顯露。

Silently dwelling on one's own, as such and free from conditions, openly bright without dust, one penetrates and sheds directly. Originally arriving at this place is not something newly possessed today; from the ancient home before the vast kalpas, it has been distinctly unclouded, spiritually shining alone. Although it is like this, you cannot fail to practice. When practicing in this way, directly ensure that not a single hair arises, not a single dust-mote obscures. In withered cold, take a great rest; be vast, penetrating, clear, and distinct. If resting is not thorough, and you wish to reach this realm to escape birth and death, there is no such possibility. Directly break through, completely without dusts of thought, purely without conditioned deliberations. Step back and let go: thoroughly complete, you will then be able to radiate light and respond to the world, meeting every thing and fitting perfectly in every place. Therefore it is said: 'The dharmas are not concealed; they are always clearly revealed throughout past and present.'
