如淨和尚語錄 2.40

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [2.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2002a.2.40)

結夏小參。打破黑漆桶。十方空索索。不受靈山記。安居大圓覺。早晨喫粥齋時。喫飯入夜打眠。早朝又起。歷劫見前。終而復始。生死悠悠無定止。恁麼徹去。過去諸如來。斯門已敗缺。現在諸菩薩。今各無折合。未來修學人。切忌顛倒走。可中若有箇漢。出來道未在。猶是繫縛盲驢。守他鬼窟。㘞九旬垂釣。正要上鉤。還知麼。麻三斤乾屎橛。拳頭脚尖更。須悟去始得。且道。有什麼長處。毘婆尸佛早留心。直至如今不得妙。

> Minor convocation for entering the summer retreat:  
> "Smashing the black lacquer bucket,  
> the ten directions are utterly empty.  
> Not receiving the prophecy of Gṛdhrakūṭa,  
> dwell in Great Perfect Enlightenment.  
> Eating gruel in the morning, eating rice at noon, sleeping at night, rising again at dawn.  
> Passing through kalpas manifest before us, ending and beginning again,  
> saṃsāra drifts on and on without fixity.  
> Penetrating thoroughly like this,  
> for the past Tathāgatas, this gate is already ruined and breached;  
> for the present bodhisattvas, now none have any compromise;  
> for future practitioners, by all means avoid running upside down!  
> If right in the midst of this there is a fellow who comes out and says, 'Not yet! You are still a tethered blind donkey guarding another's ghost cave'—  
> Ha! Angling for ninety days, just wanting \[a fish\] to take the hook.  
> Do you still know?  
> Three pounds of hemp, a dry shit stick,  
> fist and toe—furthermore, you must be enlightened to them before you attain it.  
> Tell me, what excellence is there?  
> Vipaśyin Buddha paid attention to it early on,  
> yet right down to the present, he has not attained its subtlety."
