佛果圜悟禪師碧巖錄 4.44

4.44

雪竇相席打令。動絃別曲。一句一句判將去。此一頌。不異拈古之格。花藥欄。便道莫顢頇。人皆道雲門信彩答將去。總作情解會他底。所以雪竇下本分莫料。便道莫顢頇。蓋雲門意。不在花藥欄處。所以雪竇道。星在秤兮不在盤。這一句忒殺漏逗。水中元無月。月在青天。如星在秤不在於槃。且道那箇是秤。若辨明得出。不辜負雪竇。古人到這裏。也不妨慈悲。分明向爾道。不在這裏。在那邊去。且道那邊是什麼處。此頌頭邊一句了。後面頌這僧道便恁麼去時如何。雪竇道。這僧也太無端。且道是明頭合暗頭合。會來恁麼道。不會來恁麼道。金毛獅子大家看。還見金毛獅子麼。瞎。

Xuedou watched the banquet to give the commands, moved the strings to distinguish the tune, evaluating it phrase by phrase. This verse does not differ from the pattern of picking up antiquity. At “A flower-medicinal hedge,” he immediately says, “Do not be muddled.” People all say Yunmen answered at random, all understanding him through conceptual interpretations; therefore Xuedou provided the fundamental fodder, straightaway saying, “Do not be muddled.” For Yunmen’s meaning did not lie in the flower-medicinal hedge. Therefore Xuedou said, “The stars are on the steelyard, not on the pan.” This line leaks far too much. In the water there is originally no moon; the moon is in the blue sky—just as the stars are on the steelyard, not on the pan. Tell me: which is the steelyard? If you can clearly discern it, you will not disappoint Xuedou. When the ancients arrived here, there was no harm in being compassionate: they clearly told you, “It is not here, go over to that side.” Tell me: what place is that side? This finishes versifying the opening phrase. Later, versifying the monk saying, “What about when going along just like this?” Xuedou said, “This monk is also far too reckless.” Tell me: is this fitting together in the light or in the dark? Did he speak like this having understood, or did he speak like this without understanding? “A golden-haired lion: let everyone look!” Do you still see the golden-haired lion? Blind!
