宏智禪師廣錄 4.30

4.30

Ascending the hall, the Master said: "The Fifth Day of the Fifth Month is the Tianzhong Festival: on the tips of the hundred grasses, look at living and killing. Licorice and coptis are naturally bitter and sweet; ginseng and aconite distinguish cold and hot. Fragrant and foul are hard to obscure when the dual claws hang down; tastes—how can they fool the newly arched moon? Clear and luminous complete knowing is within mind-moments: Mahākāśyapa is able to distinguish. Good Zen practitioners! That which distinguishes is the intellect. The Venerable Kāśyapa long ago eradicated the sense-faculty of the intellect. Clear and luminous complete knowing does not depend on mind-moments. But how to get it just right? / When a person is impartial, he does not speak; / when water is level, it does not flow."
