宏智禪師廣錄 4.3

4.3

On the second day of the eleventh month in the third year of Jianyan [1129], the Master accepted an invitation. Ascending the hall, a monk asked: “Atop the peak of Great White, auspicious clouds drift gently; beside the Intricate Crag, auspicious vapors extend unceasingly. What is the very first phrase?” The Master said: “Auspicious vapors extend unceasingly.” The monk advanced and said: “This is still what the student has spoken.” The Master said: “Your tongue is my tongue.” The monk advanced and said: “A single word encompasses the myriad phenomena; a single phrase accords with all capacities.” The Master said: “Which phrase is that?” The monk advanced and said: “Direct and distinct, without duality; clear and luminous, not concealed.” The Master said: “You must have your heels firmly on the ground before you can attain it.” The monk bowed.
