佛果圜悟禪師碧巖錄 4.25

4.25

千峯盤屈色如藍。誰謂文殊是對談。有者道。雪竇只是重拈一遍。不曾頌著。只如僧問法眼。如何是曹源一滴水。眼云。是曹源一滴水。又僧問瑯瑘覺和尚。清淨本然云何忽生山河大地。覺云。清淨本然云何忽生山河大地。不可也喚作重拈一遍。明招獨眼龍。亦頌其意。有蓋天蓋地之機道。廓周沙界勝伽藍。滿目文殊是對談。言下不知開佛眼。回頭只見翠山巖。廓周沙界勝伽藍。此指草窟化寺。所謂有權實雙行之機。滿目文殊是對談。言下不知開佛眼。回頭只見翠山巖。正當恁麼時。喚作文殊普賢觀音境界得麼。要且不是這箇道理。雪竇只改明招底用。却有針線。千峯盤屈色如藍。更不傷鋒犯手。句中有權有實。有理有事。誰謂文殊是對談。一夜對談。不知是文殊。後來無著。在五臺山作典座。文殊每於粥鍋上現。被無著拈攪粥篦便打。雖然如是。也是賊過後張弓。當時等他道南方佛法。如何住持。劈脊便棒。猶較些子。堪笑清涼多少眾。雪竇笑中有刀。若會得這笑處。便見他道前三三與後三三。

"Thousand peaks coil and bend, blue like indigo. / Who says Mañjuśrī is opposite in dialogue?" Some say Xuedou merely brought it up again and never composed a verse on it. Just like when a monk asked Fayan, "What is a drop of water from the Cao source?" and Fayan said, "It is a drop of water from the Cao source." Also, a monk asked Venerable Jue of Langya, "Pure and inherently so, how do mountains, rivers, and the great earth suddenly arise?" and Jue said, "Pure and inherently so, how do mountains, rivers, and the great earth suddenly arise?" This cannot also be called merely bringing it up again. Mingzhao, the One-Eyed Dragon, also wrote a verse on this meaning, possessing dynamic function covering heaven and covering earth, which says: "Vast, encompassing sands of worlds, an exquisite saṅghārāma; / Full in view, Mañjuśrī is opposite in dialogue. / Falling short of opening the Buddha-eye at his words, / Turning the head, one sees only the emerald mountain crags." "Vast, encompassing sands of worlds, an exquisite saṅghārāma"—this points to the straw hut of the conjured temple, what is called having the dynamic function where provisional and real operate side by side. "Full in view, Mañjuśrī is opposite in dialogue. / Falling short of opening the Buddha-eye at his words, / Turning the head, one sees only the emerald mountain crags." Right at such a time, can it be called the realm of Mañjuśrī, Samantabhadra, or Avalokiteśvara? In the end it is not this principle. Xuedou merely altered Mingzhao's verse for his own use, yet he has exquisite needlework. "Thousand peaks coil and bend, blue like indigo"—moreover, it does not wound the sharp edge or blunder into the hand. Within the line are provisional and real, principle and phenomenon. "Who says Mañjuśrī is opposite in dialogue?" An entire night in dialogue opposite him, yet he did not know it was Mañjuśrī. Later, when Wuzhuo was tenzo on Mount Wutai, Mañjuśrī repeatedly appeared above the gruel pot; Wuzhuo would pick up the gruel-stirring ladle and strike him. Even though it was like this, it was also drawing the bow after the thief had gone. Back then, waiting until he said, "How is the Buddha Dharma maintained in the South?" a staff straight across his back would have been somewhat better. "Laughable indeed, Qingliang's many assemblies." Within Xuedou's laugh there is a blade. If you can comprehend this laugh, you will see his saying, "The former three-three and the latter three-three."
