佛果圜悟禪師碧巖錄 6.1

6.1

垂示云。纔有是非。紛然失心。不落階級。又無摸索。且道放行即是。把住即是。到這裏。若有一絲毫解路。猶滯言詮。尚拘機境。盡是依草附木。直饒便到獨脫處。未免萬里望鄉關。還搆得麼。若未搆得。且只理會箇理成公案。試舉看。

A pointer says: As soon as right and wrong arise, confusingly one loses one's mind. Not falling into stages, there is again nothing to get a handle on. Tell me, is letting go right, or is holding fast right? Arriving here, if there is the slightest path of intellectual understanding, one is still lingering in verbal explanations and still bound to dynamic objects; this is all leaning on grasses and clinging to trees. Even if you reach the place of solitary liberation, you cannot avoid gazing toward your home village from ten thousand miles away. Can you grasp it? If you have not yet grasped it, just attend to a gong'an that is already complete in principle. Please cite it for examination.
