佛果圜悟禪師碧巖錄 5.43

5.43

透網金鱗。休云滯水。五祖道只此一句頌了也。既是透網金鱗。豈居滯水。必在洪波浩渺白浪滔天處。且道二六時中。以何為食。諸人且向三條椽下七尺單前。試定當看雪竇道。此事隨分拈弄。如金鱗之類。振鬣擺尾時。直得乾坤動搖。千尺鯨噴洪浪飛。此頌三聖道一千五百人善知識。話頭也不識。如鯨噴洪浪相似。一聲雷震清飈起。頌雪峯道老僧住持事繁。如一聲雷震清飈起相似。大綱頌他兩箇俱是作家。清飈起。天上人間知幾幾。且道這一句落在什麼處。飈者風也。當清飈起時。天上人間。能有幾人知。

"The golden fish that has passed through the net; / Cease saying it lingers in stagnant water!" Wuzu said that with this single line the verse was completed. Since it is a golden fish that has passed through the net, how could it reside in stagnant water? It must dwell where vast billows are boundless and white waves surge to the heavens. Tell me, throughout the twelve periods of the day, what does it take for food? All of you, try to settle it under the three rafters and before the seven-foot mat! Xuedou said: "This matter is brought up according to one's capacity. When something like the golden fish stirs its gills and tosses its tail, it directly causes heaven and earth to shake." "A thousand-foot whale spouts, and vast waves surge"—this versifies Sansheng saying: "A kalyāṇamitra of fifteen hundred people, yet you do not even recognize a turning phrase!" It is like a whale spouting vast waves. "A clap of thunder roars, and a pure gale arises" versifies Xuefeng saying: "This old monk's tasks as abbot are many." It is like a clap of thunder roaring and a pure gale arising. In general, it versifies that both of them were experts. "A pure gale arises: / Between heaven and the world of men, how many know?" Tell me, where does this phrase land? "Gale" (biāo) means wind. When the pure gale arises, between heaven and the world of men, how many people can know it?
