佛果圜悟禪師碧巖錄 4.10

4.10

雪竇頌。斷際全機繼後蹤。持來何必在從容。黃檗大機大用。唯臨濟獨繼其蹤。拈得將來不容擬議。或若躊躇便落陰界。楞嚴經云。如我按指。海印發光。汝暫舉心。塵勞先起。巨靈擡手無多子。分破華山千萬重。巨靈神有大神力。以手擘開太華。放水流入黃河。定上座疑情。如山堆岳積。被臨濟一掌。直得瓦解氷消。

Xuedou's verse says: "Duanji's complete dynamic function continues the subsequent tracks; / Why must upholding it require calm and leisure?" The great dynamic function and great dynamic activity of Huangbo—Linji alone continued his tracks. Bringing it forth allows no hesitation; if one deliberates, one falls into the realm of the skandhas. The Śūraṅgama Sūtra says: "As when I press my finger, the ocean-seal emits light; but as soon as you arouse your mind, the defilements arise first." "Juling raising a hand does not take much, / Cleaving Mount Hua into ten million layers." The spirit Juling possessed great spiritual power: with his hand he split Mount Taihua, letting the water flow into the Yellow River. Senior Monk Ding's mass of doubt was piled high like peaks; struck by Linji's slap, it instantly crumbled like tiles and melted like ice.
