佛果圜悟禪師碧巖錄 10.50

10.50

一國之師亦強名。南陽獨許振嘉聲。此頌一似箇真贊相似。不見道。至人無名。喚作國師。亦是強安名了。國師之道。不可比倫。善能恁麼接人。獨許南陽是箇作家。大唐扶得真天子。曾踏毘盧頂上行。若是具眼衲僧眼腦。須是向毘盧頂上行。方見此十身調御。佛謂之調御。便是十號之一數也。一身化十身。十身化百身。乃至千百億身。大綱只是一身。這一頌却易說。後頌他道莫認自己清淨法身。頌得水灑不著。直是難下口說。鐵鎚擊碎黃金骨。此頌莫認自己清淨法身。雪竇忒殺讚歎他。黃金骨一鎚擊碎了也。天地之間更何物。直須淨裸裸赤灑灑。更無一物可得。乃是本地風光。一似三千剎海夜沈沈。三千大千世界香水海中有無邊剎。一剎有一海。正當夜靜更深時。天地一時澄澄地。且道是什麼。切忌作閉目合眼會。若恁麼會。正墮在毒海。不知誰入蒼龍窟。展脚縮脚。且道是誰。諸人鼻孔一時被雪竇穿却了也。

"Teacher of a whole nation is also a forced name; / Nanyang alone is permitted to shake with glorious renown." This verse eulogy is just like a portrait encomium. Have you not heard it said: "The ultimate person has no name"? Calling him National Teacher is already forcing a name onto him. The National Teacher's path cannot be compared. Skillfully able to guide people like this, Nanyang alone is acknowledged as an adept. "In the Great Tang, he supported the true Son of Heaven; / He once stepped upon Vairocana's head and walked." If one has the eyes and brain of a patch-robed monk who possesses the eye, one must walk upon Vairocana's head; only then can one see this Tamer of Tenfold Bodies. What the Buddha called a Tamer is precisely one among the ten epithets. One body transforms into ten bodies, ten bodies transform into a hundred bodies, and so on up to thousands of millions of bodies—in the main it is just one body. This verse is relatively easy to explain. The verse that follows eulogizes his words: "Do not mistake your own pure Dharma body." The eulogy is so watertight that not a drop of water can splash through; it is truly difficult to open one's mouth to explain. "An iron hammer smashes the golden bones." This eulogizes "Do not mistake your own pure Dharma body." Xuedou praises him exceedingly. The golden bones are smashed to pieces with a single hammer blow. "What else is there between heaven and earth?" It must simply be stripped naked and bare, without a single thing remaining to be grasped; this is the scenery of the original ground. It is just like: "Over three thousand oceans of realms, the night is deep and still." In the oceans of fragrant waters of the trichiliocosm, there are boundless realms, and every realm has an ocean. Just when the night is quiet and the watch is deep, heaven and earth are at once clear and limpid. Tell me, what is this? By all means do not understand it as closing your eyes and shutting your lids. If you understand it like that, you fall straight into a sea of poison. "I know not who enters the dark dragon's cave." Extending the legs, drawing back the legs—tell me, who is it? Everyone's nostrils have all at once been pierced through by Xuedou!
