如淨和尚語錄 2.47

2.47

天童入院小參。跳出淨慈牛欄。撞入太白馬廐。一團罪業黑漫漫。風吹日炙薰天臭。恁麼見得。今夜小參不答話。引賊入界。莫有入界底麼。牙如劍樹。口似血盆。霹靂雷霆。尤難紹續。且道。如何紹續。佛殿掘東司。歡喜入地獄。其或未然。疥狗不願生天。却笑雲中白鶴。舉。僧問當山啟禪師。學人卓卓上來。請師的的啟云。我者裡一屙便了。有甚麼卓卓的的。大眾好箇一屙便了。只是雷聲浩大。雨點全無。且合作麼生。一棒打翻連底脫。太平無象唱山歌。

Minor convocation on entering the mountain at Tiantong:
“Leaping out of Jingci’s ox pen, barging into Taibai’s horse stable! A ball of sinful karma, pitch black; blown by the wind and scorched by the sun, stinking to high heaven! Seeing it like this, tonight’s minor convocation answers no questions, leading thieves into the realm. Is there anyone entering the realm? Teeth like a sword-tree, mouth like a blood bowl! Lightning and thunderbolts—how exceedingly difficult to continue the lineage! And tell me, how to continue the lineage? Digging a latrine in the Buddha hall, joyfully entering hell! If it is not yet so:
A mangy dog has no wish to be born in heaven,
Instead laughing at the white crane amid the clouds.
To cite: A monk asked Master Qi of this mountain, ‘This student comes towering upright; I request the Master to be clear and precise.’ Qi said, ‘Here I just defecate and finish; what is all this towering and precision?’
Assembly! ‘Just defecate and finish’ is very fine, but the thunder is mighty while there are no raindrops at all. And how should it be?
One blow of the staff overturns it, stripping off the very bottom;
In the great peace without form, singing mountain songs.”
