宏智禪師廣錄 6.5

6.5

真實做處。唯靜坐默究。深有所詣。外不被因緣流轉。其心虛則容。其照妙則準。內無攀緣之思。廓然獨存而不昏。靈然絕待而自得。得處不屬情。須豁蕩了無依倚。卓卓自神。始得不隨垢相。箇處歇得。淨淨而明。明而通。便能順應還來對事。事事無礙。飄飄出岫雲。濯濯流澗月。一切處光明神變。了無滯相。的的相應。函蓋箭鋒相似。更教養得熟體得穩。隨處歷歷地。絕稜角勿道理。似白牯貍奴恁麼去。喚作十成底漢。所以道。無心道者能如此。未得無心也大難。

The place of genuine practice is solely silent sitting and silent investigation. Penetrating deeply to where one attains: outwardly, one is not turned by causes and conditions. When the mind is empty, it contains; when its illumination is wondrous, it hits the mark. Inwardly, there are no thoughts of grasping at conditions; vast and solitary, it remains without stupor. Spiritually alive and beyond duality, it is self-attained. The place of attainment does not belong to sentiment; it must be spacious and open, entirely without reliance. Towering and distinctly spiritual on its own, only then does it avoid following defiled characteristics. When one can rest at this place, it is pristine and bright; bright and unobstructed, one is then able to adapt and respond, returning to face affairs. Affair after affair is unobstructed, like clouds drifting out of the mountain peaks, or the moon washed clean in a flowing stream. In all places, spiritual transformations of bright illumination are completely without obstructing signs, tallying exactly like a box and its lid or the tips of two arrows meeting. Furthermore, make your training mature and your realization stable; in every place, it will be clearly distinct, without corners or edges, free of conceptual principles. Proceeding in this way, like a white ox or a house cat, one is called a fellow who is completely accomplished. Therefore it is said: 'A person of the mindless Way is capable of this; yet before one has attained mindlessness, it is indeed exceedingly difficult.'
