宏智禪師廣錄 6.54

6.54

得皮得髓剛立階梯。綴葉綴花。遂成流布。衲僧覰得破。怪他祖師西來。作許多事。節外生枝眼裏著屑。更有般漢。刺頭做無限伎倆。刻舟記劍。甚麼時得相應。而今直下放教落去。及教盡去。毫髮顆糝。俱莫停留。淨潔打疊了。自然有透脫處。圜混而明。靈通而妙。便知。本來無缺少無遺餘。語言有所不到。聞見有所不及。如犀有通。如蚌有孕。一段光明。是自家真實游踐處。著精神體取。

Attaining the skin and attaining the marrow, stages and gradations were forcibly established; stitching together leaves and stringing flowers, transmission and spreading were thereby brought about. A patch-robed monk sees right through this and faults the ancestral master for coming from the West to do so many things—producing branches outside of nodes, putting grit into the eyes. Moreover, there are those fellows who poke their heads out to perform endless tricks, notching the boat to find the sword; when will they ever attain attunement? Right now, directly let everything drop away; let everything be thoroughly exhausted, leaving not a hair, not a grain, not a speck behind. Once cleanly tidied away, there will naturally be a place of penetrating liberation. Round, unified, and bright, numinously penetrating and wondrous, you will know then that fundamentally nothing is lacking, nothing is left over. Words cannot reach it; seeing and hearing cannot attain it. It is like the rhinoceros horn communicating [with light], like the clam conceiving a pearl. This single stretch of clear radiance is one's own true ground of wandering and practice. Apply your energy to realize and embody it!
