### [8.596](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.8.596)

默默忘言。昭昭現前。鑒時廓爾。體處靈然。  
靈然獨照。照中還妙。露月星河。雪松雲嶠。  
晦而彌明。隱而愈顯。鶴夢煙寒。水含秋遠。  
浩劫空空。相與雷同。妙存默處。功忘照中。  
妙存何存。惺惺破昏。默照之道。離微之根。  
徹見離微。金梭玉機。正偏宛轉。明暗因依。  
依無能所。底時回互。飲善見藥。檛塗毒鼓。  
回互底時。殺活在我。門裡出身。枝頭結果。  
默唯至言。照唯普應。應不墮功。言不涉聽。  
萬象森羅。放光說法。彼彼證明。各各問答。  
問答證明。恰恰相應。照中失默。便見侵凌。  
證明問答。相應恰恰。默中失照。渾成剩法。  
默照理圓。蓮開夢覺。百川赴海。千峯向岳。  
如鵝擇乳。如蜂採花。默照至得。輸我宗家。  
宗家默照。透頂透底。舜若多身。母陀羅臂。  
始終一揆。變態萬差。和氏獻璞。相如指瑕。  
當機有準。大用不勤。寰中天子。塞外將軍。  
吾家底事。中規中矩。傳去諸方。不要賺舉。

> Silently, forgetting words; / Clearly, appearing manifest before one. / When scrutinising, it is boundless; / At its essence, it is numinous. / Numinous, it shines alone; / Within illumination, it returns to wonder. / Dew, moon, Milky Way; / Snow, pine, cloud peaks. / Darkened, it becomes ever brighter; / Concealed, it is all the more manifest. / The crane dreams in cold mist; / Waters contain the far autumn. / Vast kalpas are completely empty; / In mutual harmony like thunder. / Wonder resides in silence; / Function is forgotten within illumination. / Wonder resides—where does it reside? / Alert and wakeful, breaking through dullness. / The way of silent illumination / Is the root of divergence and subtlety. / Thoroughly seeing divergence and subtlety: / Golden shuttle, jade loom. / Upright and biased turn and adapt; / Bright and dark depend on each other. / Depending without subject or object, / At that very time, mutually interchanging. / Drinking the Medicine of Excellent Sight; / Striking the Poison-Smeared Drum. / At the very time of mutual interchange, / Killing and giving life are up to me. / Going forth within the gate, / Fruit forms on the branch tip. / Silence is only ultimate speech; / Illumination is only universal response. / Responding does not fall into contrivance; / Speech does not involve hearing. / The myriad forms in dense array / Emit light and expound the Dharma. / Each and every one bears witness; / One by one they question and answer. / Questioning, answering, and bearing witness, / They respond to each other exactly. / Losing silence within illumination, / One sees intrusion and violation. / Bearing witness, questioning, and answering, / Responding to each other exactly. / Losing illumination within silence, / It entirely becomes superfluous Dharma. / The principle of silent illumination is complete: / The lotus opens, the dream awakens. / A hundred streams rush to the sea; / A thousand peaks face the great mountain. / Like a goose choosing milk, / Like a bee gathering from flowers. / When silent illumination is fully attained, / It belongs to our ancestral house. / Our ancestral house's silent illumination / Penetrates the crown and penetrates the base: / The body of Śūnyatā, / The arms of mudrā. / From beginning to end, a single thread; / Myriad variations and shifts. / Mr. He presents the uncut jade; / Xiangru points to the blemish. / Responding to the moment with precision; / Great function without toil. / The Son of Heaven within the realm; / The general beyond the frontier. / The affair of our house / Accords with compass and square. / Transmitted to the various quarters: / Do not pass it on mistakenly!
