佛果圜悟禪師碧巖錄 4.42

4.42

諸人還知這僧問處與雲門答處麼。若知得。兩口同無一舌。若不知。未免顢頇。僧問玄沙。如何是清淨法身。沙云。膿滴滴地。具金剛眼。試請辨看。雲門不同別人。有時把定壁立萬仞。無爾湊泊處。有時與爾開一線道。同死同生。雲門三寸甚密。有者道。是信彩答去。若恁麼會。且道雲門落在什麼處。這箇是屋裏事。莫向外卜度。所以百丈道。森羅萬象。一切語言。皆轉歸自己。令轉轆轆地。向活潑潑處便道。若擬議尋思。便落第二句了也。永嘉道。法身覺了無一物。本源自性天真佛。雲門驗這僧。其僧亦是他屋裏人。自是久參。知他屋裏事。進云。便恁麼去時如何。門云。金毛獅子。且道是肯他。是不肯他。是褒他是貶他。巖頭道。若論戰也。箇箇立在轉處。又道他參活句。不參死句。活句下薦得。永劫不忘。死句下薦得。自救不了。又僧問雲門。佛法如水中月是否。門云。清波無透路。進云。和尚從何而得。門云。再問復何來。僧云。正恁麼去時如何。門云。重疊關山路。須知此事。不在言句上。如擊石火似閃電光。構得構不得。未免喪身失命。雪竇是其中人。便當頭頌出。

Do you people understand where this monk asked and where Yunmen answered? If you understand, both mouths share no tongue; if you do not, you will inevitably remain muddled. A monk asked Xuansha, “What is the pure Dharmakāya?” Xuansha said, “Dripping with pus.” If you have the vajra-eye, try to discern it. Yunmen was unlike other people: sometimes he held fast, standing like a wall of ten thousand cubits, leaving you no place to approach; sometimes he opened a sliver of a path for you, dying together and living together. Yunmen’s tongue was exceedingly subtle. Some say he answered at random; if you understand it like that, tell me: where does Yunmen land? This is a family matter within the house; do not calculate it outwardly. Therefore Baizhang said, “All myriad phenomena and all words and expressions are turned back toward oneself, made to spin smoothly, and spoken directly toward the lively ground.” If you deliberate and ponder, you will immediately fall into the second phrase. Yongjia said, “When the Dharmakāya is awakened to, there is not a single thing; the fundamental source of one’s own nature is the naturally real Buddha.” Yunmen tested this monk, and this monk was also a man within his house; having practiced long, he knew the matters inside his house. He went on to say, “What about when going along just like this?” Yunmen said, “A golden-haired lion.” Tell me: does he approve of him, or not approve of him? Does he praise him, or disparage him? Yantou said, “When speaking of battle, each stands at the pivot.” He also said that one investigates the living phrase, not the dead phrase: if you comprehend under the living phrase, you will not forget it for eternal kalpas; if you comprehend under the dead phrase, you cannot even save yourself. Another monk asked Yunmen, “Is the Buddha-Dharma like the moon in the water or not?” Yunmen said, “The clear waves have no penetrating path.” The monk went on, “From where did the Venerable obtain it?” Yunmen said, “Asking again, whence do you come?” The monk said, “What about right when going along like this?” Yunmen said, “Layer upon layer of mountain passes.” You must know that this matter does not abide in words and phrases; it is like sparks struck from flint, like a flash of lightning. Whether you grasp it or fail to grasp it, you will inevitably lose your life. Xuedou was an insider, so he directly chanted it in verse:
