宏智禪師廣錄 6.7

6.7

衲僧家。枯寒心念。休歇餘緣。一味揩磨此一片田地。直是誅鉏盡草莾。四至界畔。了無一毫許污染。靈而明廓而瑩。照徹體前。直得光滑淨潔。著不得一塵。便與牽轉牛鼻來。自然頭角崢嶸地。異類中行履。了不犯人苗稼。騰騰任運。任運騰騰。無收繫安排處。便是耕破劫空田地底。却恁麼來。歷歷不昧。處處現成。一念萬年。初無住相。所以道。心地含諸種。普雨悉皆萠。既悟花情已。菩提果自成。

Patch-robed monks wither their mind's thoughts and put to rest extraneous conditions, single-mindedly polishing this single patch of field until the weeds and overgrowth are completely hoed away. Within its boundaries on all four sides, there is not the slightest taint. Spiritual and bright, vast and translucent, it illuminates right before the substance, thoroughly polished, pure and clean, unable to lodge a single speck of dust. Then turn the ox's nose around: naturally its horns are lofty and distinct. Treading among different species, it never violates others' sprouts and crops. Drifting freely, following conditions; following conditions, drifting freely, there is nowhere to restrain or arrange it. This is precisely the one who plows up the field of the kalpa of emptiness. Coming forth in just this way, it is clearly distinct and unclouded, fully present in every place. A single thought for ten thousand years, it is originally without any abiding characteristic. Therefore it is said: 'The mind-ground contains all seeds; when universal rain falls, all of them sprout. Once enlightened to the sentiment of the blossom, the fruit of bodhi ripens of itself.'
