佛果圜悟禪師碧巖錄 2.15

2.15

老新開。新開乃院名也。端的別。雪竇讚歎有分。且道什麼處是別處。一切語言。皆是佛法。山僧如此說話。成什麼道理去。雪竇微露些子意道。只是端的別。後面打開云。解道銀椀裏盛雪。更與爾下箇注脚。九十六箇應自知。負墮始得。爾若不知。問取天邊月。古人曾答此話云。問取天邊月雪竇頌了。末後須有活路。有獅子返擲之句。更提起與爾道。提婆宗提婆宗。赤旛之下起清風。巴陵道。銀椀裏盛雪。為什麼雪竇却道赤旛之下起清風。還知雪竇殺人不用刀麼。

"Old Xinkai"—Xinkai was the name of a cloister. "Is genuinely distinctive"—Xuedou had good reason for his praise. And tell me, where is the distinctive place? All words are Buddha-Dharma. When this mountain monk speaks like this, what kind of principle does it amount to? Xuedou slightly revealed a bit of his meaning, saying: It is just genuinely distinctive. Later he opened it up, saying: "He is capable of saying, 'Snow piled in a silver bowl.'" He further added a footnote for you: "The ninety-six should know for themselves." Only when they are defeated in debate will it do! If you do not know, go ask the moon at the edge of the sky. An ancient once answered this topic saying, "Ask the moon at the edge of the sky." When Xuedou finished eulogizing, there had to be an active path at the very end—phrases of the lion springing backward. He again brought it up to say to you: "The Deva school, the Deva school! Beneath the red banner, a pure wind arises." Baling said, "Snow piled in a silver bowl." Why did Xuedou instead say, "Beneath the red banner, a pure wind arises"? Do you know that Xuedou kills people without using a knife?
